Accepted Answer

New York follows Eastern Time (ET). During standard time (November–March) it is UTC-5 (EST). During daylight saving time (March–November) it is UTC-4 (EDT). Use the world clock above to see the current time in New York.

Question 2

How do I convert EST to PST?

Accepted Answer

PST (Pacific Standard Time) is 3 hours behind EST (Eastern Standard Time). So 3:00 PM EST = 12:00 PM PST. During daylight saving, the difference remains 3 hours because both zones observe DST together. Use the converter above to see any specific time.

Question 3

What is the time difference between New York and London?

Accepted Answer

London (GMT/BST) is typically 5 hours ahead of New York (ET). During US Eastern Standard Time (winter), London is 5 hours ahead. The difference can be 4 hours during brief periods when only one zone has switched to daylight saving time.

Question 4

What is UTC/GMT?

Accepted Answer

UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is essentially the same for everyday purposes. All other time zones are expressed as offsets from UTC — for example, New York (EST) is UTC-5 and Tokyo (JST) is UTC+9.
