Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied Flux query with the timezone module and the Europe/Berlin or Europe/Belfast location against existing UTC data. Compare the returned timestamps with the expected local time; done means the configured timezone is applied consistently rather than the results remaining in UTC.
