About these time zones

BST: Greenwich Mean Time

British Summer Time (BST). The United Kingdom from late March to late October (UTC+1). In winter the UK returns to GMT. BST is also sometimes used for Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6); this page means British time.

Questions about BST and AST time

What is the time difference between BST and AST?

The current difference is shown at the top of this page. BST uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) as standard time and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) during daylight saving time; AST uses Atlantic Standard Time (AST, UTC−4) as standard time and Atlantic Daylight Time (ADT, UTC−3) 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.
