The chart below gives an approximate UTC (Universal Time Coordinate) time offset for the various
longitudinal zones. Check with local charts for more detailed information. If you are in daylight savings
time, add one hour to the offset.

A simple way to determine your local time offset is
how many hours you are behind or ahead of UTC
(also called ‘Greenwich’ or ‘zulu’ time).
Example: EST (Eastern Standard Time) is 5 hours
behind UTC, so your offset would be -5. Adding one
hour for daylight savings would make EDT (Eastern
Daylight Time) - 4. Subtract an hour for each time
zone as you travel west.
Offsets for Continental U.S. would be:
EST
-5 EDT -4
CST -6 CDT -5
MST -7 MDT -6
PST -8 PDT -7
