This can occur from one of two reasons:

First Scenario:

Timestamps shown in the JIRA UI don't match the user's timezone but that of the server location. The timezone used is a JVM system property which defaults - unless specified - to that of the hosting operating system

It is not possible to localize the timezone on a per-user basis. It is possible to change the JVM timezone by setting the following JVM command line property: -Duser.timezone=<TZ>. Possible values are in the zoneinfo format (please see this list of zoneinfo time zones).

To set a command line option, see Setting properties and options on startup.

Second Scenario:

JIRA's date/time may not have been updated after day light savings has taken affect - this is generally an issue with older versions of JAVA.

Upgrading JVM to the latest version will solve the problem. Please download the latest version from Java Download site.
