It should - UTCNow returns a standard DateTime, and Hour just returns an integer - so CDbl will just convert the int32 to a double value.
And a quick check here:

VB

Dim d As Double = CDbl(DateTime.UtcNow.Hour)

Says it works just fine...d contains 18.0, and it's 19:26 BST, which is GMT+1, or UTC+1 if you prefer...
