The date command for retrieving time is incorrect, different to panel

Why the date command for time is incorrect and different from the correct one on panel bar

$ date +%H
04

$ date +%I
04

while the correct is on panel bar which is 11 (real in 0..24 form, i.e. AM)

Please help this confusing trouble

Re: The date command for retrieving time is incorrect, different to panel

Perhaps your system timezone is incorrect and you specified a timezone in the panel clock? What does the following return:

timedatectl

...and:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep $(xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep clock | awk '{print $1}')

What timezone are you in?
