How to convert EDT to EST? ›

EDT is one hour ahead of EST.

This means that EDT is ahead of Eastern Standard Time (EST) by one hour. So, if you want to convert EDT to Central Daylight Time (CDT), you subtract one hour. For Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), subtract two hours, and for Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), subtract three hours.

On the second Sunday in March, at 2:00 a.m. EST, clocks are advanced to 3:00 a.m. EDT leaving a one-hour gap. On the first Sunday in November, at 2:00 a.m. EDT, clocks are moved back to 1:00 a.m. EST, which results in one hour being duplicated.

EDT, eastern daylight time, is the eastern time zone that is used when daylight saving time is in effect. It is defined as GMT - 4 hours. EST, eastern standard time, is the eastern time zone used when daylight saving time is not in effect. It is defined as GMT - 5 hours (one hour behind EDT).

One way to remember the difference between EST and EDT is to remember that the D in EDT stands for Daylight. The season with the most daylight is summer, when the sun rises early and sets late. Therefore, EDT is the time zone used in summer and spring, while EST is the time zone used in winter and autumn.
