BST to ET Time — Convert British Summer Time to Eastern Time (US)

ET 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, ET refers to the Eastern Time zone of the United States and Canada. ET is an umbrella name rather than a fixed offset: it means EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer, and these pages show whichever is currently in force.

ET is 5 hours behind BST for most of the year. British Summer Time and Eastern 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.
