I downloaded ERA5- Land hrs in 0UTC to 23UTC. I would like to calculate daily data but my region is +9UTC then do I need to shift time? And if yes, how to do that?
All the best!

if you are an R user, please take a loot at "lubridate" library, and the method "with_tz". You can change the time zone of your date_time values.
This is with the assumption that you already converted the numerical values of ERA5 "time" to UTC. As you know, the "time" in NetCDF files for instance, is "hours since 1900-01-01 00:00:00".
(Im sure there are some packages in Python or MATLAB or etc. The reason why its better use such tools is that they handle the daylight saving thing.)
