What is the Difference between central standard time and central daylight time?

Answer 1

Most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.

Answer 2

Central Daylight Saving Time (CDT) is one hour ahead of Central Standard Time (CST). It is the name given to parts of the Central Standard Time Zone while on Daylight Saving Time (DST). It is the same as Eastern Standard Time, which is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5). For example, when it's 7 AM CDT in Illinois, it's 7 AM EST in Jamaica and 6 AM CST in most of Saskatchewan.

Answer 3

Standard versus Daylight times are referred in time zone abbreviations. PST = Pacific Standard Time, and PDT = Pacific Daylight Time, meaning the Pacific coast is on Daylight Saving Time.

Answer 4

Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7) is 1 hour behind Mountain Daylight Saving Time (UTC-6).
