EST to BST Converter

Understanding EST to BST Time

Eastern Standard Time (EST) in North America, corresponding to UTC-5, is used in various regions, including parts of the United States and Canada, during the winter months. You can find more information on Eastern Time Zone on Wikipedia.

British Summer Time (BST), equivalent to UTC+1, is observed in the United Kingdom during the summer. It begins in late March and ends in late October. Additional details are available on the British Summer Time Wikipedia page.

EST is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), while BST is one hour ahead of UTC. This results in a six-hour difference between EST and BST when both are active. When Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is in effect, the difference is only five hours.
