WordPress get's it UTC time from the Server.

However, WordPress doesn't handle Daylight Saving, instead it currently 
  allows you to specify your offset from UTC in the options and uses 
that to enable it to display post timestamps in your timezone.

For relavent open and closed trac tickets that discuss this (and options 
for adding daylight saving support to WordPress - core or plugin) see 
http://trac.wordpress.org/search?q=Daylight&noquickjump=1&ticket=on
