About CT

Central Time (CT) is a time zone used in parts of North America, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and several countries in Central America. Central Time operates as Central Standard Time (CST) at UTC−06:00 during standard time and Central Daylight Time (CDT) at UTC−05:00 during daylight saving time.

The observance of daylight saving time means the UTC offset changes during the year in many regions that follow Central Time. However, some locations remain on standard time year-round.

Central Time is used in major cities such as Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Winnipeg, and Mexico City, making it one of the most widely observed time zones in North America.
