[your query]
 |eval NewTimeZone = _time + (12 * 60 * 60)
 | convert ctime(NewTimeZone)

Replace 12 by (+ or - time difference in your timezone)

If your data is indexed correctly (with the origin timezone correctly set) you can change each users timezone in the Splunk UI - this will adjust all times displayed to the user in thier local offset.
