Description
Describe the bug
I need to mock the utc().local() function to use a specific timezone but I'm not being able to change it(it always gets the one from the PC).
Expected behavior
I though that using
dayjs.tz.setDefault('Asia/Calcutta')
would do the trick, but it didn't
Information
- Day.js Version latest
- OS: Mac OS X
- Browser Chrome
- Time zone: GMT -03:00

Research direction
Start by tracing the utc().local() behavior and how dayjs.tz.setDefault('Asia/Calcutta') is expected to interact with it. Reproduce the result in Chrome with the reported GMT -03:00 timezone, then determine the intended timezone source and verify the behavior with a regression test.
