Sydney daylight saving time runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April (Queensland does not observe it). US daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Because of this the AEST–EST difference is not fixed and changes during the year; the figures on this page are recalculated automatically for the current date.
