EST vs BST
EST (Eastern Standard Time) runs at UTC−5 and BST (British Summer Time) at UTC+1. BST is normally 6 hours ahead of EST.
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 stays at UTC+1 all year round — it does not observe daylight saving time.
BST is the summer time of the United Kingdom; in winter the UK is on GMT (UTC+0).
