Daylight saving time and the BST–EST difference
UK British Summer Time runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. US daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Because of this the BST–EST difference is not fixed and changes during the year; the figures on this page are recalculated automatically for the current date.
