What Does EDT Stand For?
EDT stands for Eastern Daylight Time
EDT, or Eastern Daylight Time, is the time zone designated for the eastern region of North America during the daylight saving period, which typically runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. It is 4 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-4) and is observed in states such as New York, Florida, and Massachusetts, as well as parts of Canada. EDT is used to optimize daylight usage in the evening hours, impacting various activities across business, travel, and daily life in the affected regions.
