OT: is it possible to have one cron job follow GMT/UTC?

Dear friends,

I have a bunch of entries in my crontab, all doing different things at different times. These times are picked up by the computer clock.

However, one particular task (downloading weather maps) would benefit if it was set to download using a clock that does not spring forward and fall back. This is because these maps appear to be released according to GMT/UTC and so setting the time according to the local clock does not quite work. (I am aware that I could set my cron job to be at a specific hour later than the actual during standard time, but I figured that this would be a good opportunity to get to know of such a possibility, if such exists.)

So, how do I make a single entry that uses GMT or  UTC, in my crontab? While also using the local time for the other tasks on crontab?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
