About EDT
EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is the daylight saving time observed in parts of the United States, Canada, and several countries in the Caribbean during the warmer months of the year. The time zone offset of EDT is UTC−04:00, which means it is 4 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Eastern Daylight Time is used to make better use of daylight during spring and summer. When daylight saving time ends, regions observing EDT switch back to Eastern Standard Time (EST), which has a UTC offset of UTC−05:00.
EDT is observed in major cities such as New York, Washington, Miami, Atlanta, Toronto, and Ottawa during the daylight saving period. It is one of the most widely used seasonal time zones in North America.
