In early to mid-August, look for Mars glaring like a bright orange star in the
southeastern sky after about 10 or 11 p.m. (local daylight-saving time); in late
August after about 9 or 10 p.m.; and in September or later, after twilight
fades. Later in the night Mars climbs higher in the sky and shifts over to the
south.

An international mgazine like "Sky & Telescope" should give times &
dates in Universal Time; the descriptions are otherwise a bit vague.
By giving them in UT, we can all make the appropriate adjustments for
where we live.

But there's no particular UT at which Mars is most visible
everywhere; the observer's local sidereal time determines when a body
with a certain right ascension will culminate. The description above,
in terms of local clock or solar time, is a perfectly good
approximation for any location.
