BST vs EST
BST (British Summer Time) runs at UTC+1 and EST (Eastern Standard Time) at UTC−5. EST is normally 6 hours behind BST.
BST stays at UTC+1 all year round — it does not observe daylight saving time. EST is the standard time (UTC−5); when daylight saving is in effect it becomes EDT (UTC−4). The live clock on this page always shows the current offset.
BST is the summer time of the United Kingdom; in winter the UK is on GMT (UTC+0).
