Understanding BST to EST Time

British Summer Time (BST) is the period in the United Kingdom when clocks are advanced one hour from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). It starts on the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October. You can learn more about it on Wikipedia.

Eastern Standard Time (EST) is a time zone used in parts of North America, primarily along the east coast. It is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−05:00). More information is available on Wikipedia.

BST is UTC+1 during the summer months, while EST is UTC-5 during the winter months. Thus, there is a six-hour difference between them during those times. When EST switches to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), it becomes UTC-4, narrowing the gap to five hours.
