EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME Meaning and Definition

1. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is the time standard followed in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) of North America during daylight-saving time. EDT is four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-4:00).

   Eastern Daylight Time is observed from the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November each year, when clocks are turned forward by one hour, resulting in longer evening daylight. When EDT is in effect, the Eastern Time Zone is considered to be UTC-4:00. During this period, regions within the Eastern Time Zone, such as parts of Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean, adjust their clocks so that the local time matches EDT.

   The Eastern Time Zone is a geographic region primarily covering the eastern part of North America, including major cities like New York, Washington D.C., Toronto, and Miami. The adoption of Eastern Daylight Time during daylight-saving time provides an additional hour of daylight in the evening, allowing for greater utilization of daylight during the warmer months.

   It is important to note that Eastern Standard Time (EST) is observed during the rest of the year when daylight-saving time is not in effect. EST is five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-5:00) and represents the standard time in the Eastern Time Zone.
