I was logging into the magento admin panel, and when I log in this sudden error appears.

The only way I was able to fix this was to change Etc/UTC to UTC. Can someone explain why this error suddenly appeared, and if my fix around it will have any issues.
Edit: Courtesy to simonthesorcerer upgrading the PHP to 5.4 has fixed the issue as well! I would recommend doing that instead. Make sure you rename the php.ini file in the public_html directory to php5.ini, well in my case I had to.
