1-Hour Offset Between Standard and Daylight Time
Central Daylight Time (CDT, UTC-5) is 1 hour ahead of Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-6). When North American Central locations advance their clocks in spring, they pull one hour ahead of territories that stay on permanent UTC-6 throughout the year, including Saskatchewan and parts of Central America.
Our interactive conversion timeline clearly maps out the 1-hour difference, calculates shared business hours, and allows you to schedule calls or calendar events without second-guessing local clock shifts.
