What Does CST Stand For?
CST stands for Central Standard Time
CST, or Central Standard Time, is a time zone that is six hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-6). It is primarily observed in the central regions of the United States, Canada, and Mexico during the standard time period, typically from early November to mid-March. CST is used to synchronize time across various industries and activities within the central geographic area, facilitating communication and coordination. During daylight saving time, the region shifts to Central Daylight Time (CDT), which is UTC-5.
