This is a change [3] in Debian introduced in Wheezy (7.0)
and documented [4] in its installation manual.
Debian assumes your clock is in UTC while in BIOSes of most
consumer-grade x86-based computers the time is stored in local time,
and Windows assumes it's in local time.
To fix this:
1) Append the string "LOCAL" without quotes to the file "/etc/adjtime".
This will ensure the time will be correct on the next boot when it's
read from the system clock.
2) Run `/sbin/hwclock --hctosys --localtime` to fix the time on the
running system.
P.S.
