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.
Sunday, March 28, 2027: clocks go forward 1 hour at 1:00 AM local time (UTC+0 → UTC+1).
AST: Atlantic Standard Time
Atlantic Time (AST/ADT). Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island (with daylight saving), plus Puerto Rico and much of the Caribbean, which stay on AST (UTC−4) all year.
Sunday, March 14, 2027: clocks go forward 1 hour at 2:00 AM local time (UTC−4 → UTC−3).
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.
When it is 9:00 AM in BST, what time is it in AST?
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, 9:00 AM in BST was 5:00 AM in AST. The conversion table above shows today’s values.
Do the clocks change in BST or AST?
BST: Sunday, March 28, 2027: clocks go forward 1 hour at 1:00 AM local time (UTC+0 → UTC+1). AST: Sunday, March 14, 2027: clocks go forward 1 hour at 2:00 AM local time (UTC−4 → UTC−3).
Is BST the same as BST?
British Summer Time does not use daylight saving time, so BST applies all year.
