Hello.

This is a part of a solution, with explicit TimeZone

Prelude Data.Time> :t \z s t -> utcToLocalTime z $ addUTCTime (fromIntegral
s) (localTimeToUTC z t)
\z s t -> utcToLocalTime z $ addUTCTime (fromIntegral s) (localTimeToUTC z
t)
  :: Integral a => TimeZone -> a -> LocalTime -> LocalTime

where the Integral arguments is in seconds, by docs

regards
paolino
