BST to EST Time — Convert British Summer Time to Eastern Standard Time (US)

EST is currently 5 hours behind BST.

On Clockjumper, BST refers to British Summer Time (UTC+1), the UK's daylight-saving offset. The same letters are also used locally for Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) — check the city or UTC offset to be sure which is meant.

On Clockjumper, EST refers to Eastern Standard Time in the United States (UTC−5). The US East Coast observes EST in winter and switches to EDT (UTC−4) during daylight saving time.

EST is 5 hours behind BST for most of the year. British Summer Time and Eastern Standard Time (US) both observe daylight saving, but they change their clocks on different dates, so for a short period each spring and each autumn the gap differs by an hour — the converter above always reflects the correct offset for the date you pick.
