Полный текст статьи доступен на английском языке ниже.

Converting US Eastern Time (EST) to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is one of the most common scheduling moves for anyone working between the Americas and Europe/Africa. Eastern Time shifts with US daylight saving, so the gap to GMT changes twice a year. Here's the clean version.

Time Zone Overview

Eastern Time (EST/EDT)

US Eastern Time is EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) during US daylight saving (second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November).

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

GMT is UTC+0 in winter. The UK switches to BST (UTC+1) in summer, so the London reference also moves.

Time Difference

US winter (EST) / UK winter (GMT): GMT is 5 hours ahead of EST.

US summer (EDT) / UK summer (BST): GMT (as BST) is 4 hours ahead of EDT.

Mixed periods (limbo weeks): the gap can be 4 or 5 hours depending on which side has switched.

Conversion Formula

GMT = EST + 5 hours (both winter) / EST + 4 hours (both summer)
