Questions about AST and AEST time
What is the time difference between AST and AEST?
The current difference is shown at the top of this page. AST uses Atlantic Standard Time (AST, UTC−4) as standard time and Atlantic Daylight Time (ADT, UTC−3) during daylight saving time; AEST uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10) as standard time and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT, UTC+11) during daylight saving time. The difference can change if only one side observes daylight saving time or if their clocks change on different dates. Choose your meeting date in the converter to check the applicable offset.
