Working Across UTC and EST
Daylight Saving Time: UTC and EST
UTC is the universal time standard and the basis for all other offsets. It never observes DST, making it the most stable reference for logging, APIs, and international scheduling.
The US observes Daylight Saving Time. Clocks spring forward 1 hour on the second Sunday in March and fall back on the first Sunday in November. During EDT (UTC−4), the gap to IST narrows by 1 hour.
