GMT (UCT) Time Conversions

At present, no software is set up to make these conversions. Time changes are defined below.

• Atlantic Standard Time is the time zone for Chile, including Punta Arenas. It is obtained from UTC by subtracting 4 hours. (AST=UTC-4).

• Eastern Standard Time is obtained from UTC by subtracting 5 hours (EST=UTC-5).

• Eastern Daylight Time is obtained from UTC by subtracting 4 hours (EDT=UTC-4). Daylight time effectively shifts the clocks one time zone to the east.

• Argentina Standard Time is one time zone east of Chile and local time is obtained from UTC by subtracting 3 hours. (ArST=UTC-3).
