Demo...

Chosen date was 2020/09/06...

... times are output in UTC, I am in UTC+1 (so add the offset and you get 00:00 of the correct date)

The issue is purely visual - the date / time is in-fact correct, merely represented as UTC.

If need be, you can use a function like below to get a local date/time representation...

```auto
function convertUTCDateToLocalDate(date) {
    var newDate = new Date(date.getTime()+date.getTimezoneOffset()*60*1000);

    var offset = date.getTimezoneOffset() / 60;
    var hours = date.getHours();

    newDate.setHours(hours - offset);

    return newDate;   
}

```
