Questions about AST and BST time

What is the time difference between AST and BST?

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; BST uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) as standard time and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) 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.
