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

BST is currently 5 hours ahead of ET.

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.

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.

BST is 5 hours ahead of ET for most of the year. Eastern Time (US) and British Summer Time 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.

Does the ET → BST offset change during the year?

Yes, briefly. For most of the year BST is 5 hours ahead of ET, but Eastern Time (US) and British Summer Time change their clocks on different dates, so for a short period each spring and each autumn the gap differs by an hour.

Does ET observe daylight saving time?

Yes — Eastern Time (US) observes DST, so its UTC offset shifts by 1 hour between winter and summer.
