$dat << EOD
8/20/2017;12:00:00 UTC+1.0;10h 35m 50.60s;+03° 47' 15.38";
8/21/2017;12:00:00 UTC+1.0;10h 33m 13.63s;+04° 02' 23.70";
8/22/2017;12:00:00 UTC+1.0;10h 30m 23.99s;+04° 20' 34.64";
EOD

set dataf sep "; \"
set table

plot $dat us \
	(timecolumn(1,"%d/%m/%Y")):\
	(timecolumn(2,"%H:%M:%S")):\
	(timecolumn(4,"%Hh %Mm %Ss")/3600):\
	(($7+$8/60+$9/3600)) w table

gives

 1.53369e+009 43200 10.5974 3.78761
 1.53636e+009 43200 10.5538 4.03992
 1.53896e+009 43200 10.5067 4.34296

	
This ignores the timezone specifier, I'm not sure how to catch that.
The date is in unix time.

Best, Karl
