Abbreviation disambiguation

On Clockjumper, UTC refers to Coordinated Universal Time — the global reference from which every other zone is expressed as an offset. It never shifts for daylight saving. GMT is equivalent to UTC for everyday use, though in the UK "GMT" also names the winter time, with clocks moving to BST in summer.

Daylight saving and how the gap changes

Around January UTC is 5 hours ahead of EDT. Around July it is 4 hours ahead of EDT. That swing comes from one or both zones observing daylight saving on different schedules — the converter above always reflects the correct offset for the date you pick.

Frequently asked questions

Is UTC ahead of or behind EDT right now?
UTC is currently 4 hours ahead of EDT.

Does UTC observe daylight saving time?
No — Coordinated Universal Time stays at a fixed UTC offset year-round.

When is the best time to schedule a call between EDT and UTC?

What time zone does EDT refer to?
EDT refers to Eastern Daylight Time (US) (IANA: America/New_York).
What time zone does UTC refer to?
UTC refers to Coordinated Universal Time (IANA: UTC).
Is UTC on this page the same as other zones that share the letters "UTC"?
On Clockjumper, UTC refers to Coordinated Universal Time — the global reference from which every other zone is expressed as an offset. It never shifts for daylight saving.
