So recently I stored all my locations with their GMT offset as integers (-12 to 12) and everything was ok, but now I have to add more locations, and I noticed that some of them are in timezones with GMT +05:30 and even +05:45. How do you store these? Like +5.5 or 5.75?

The solution is pretty simple: Don’t do it. Store the related timezone name (e.g. “Europe/Berlin”) instead of the GMT offset (“GMT+1”).
