Understanding the +5h Gap: EDT vs Casablanca

Why people convert EDT to Casablanca time
- Scheduling a call from EDT to Casablanca: a 10:00 AM start in EDT lands at 3:00 PM in Casablanca, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both EDT and Casablanca are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM EDT time (2:00 PM–5:00 PM UTC+01:00). That is roughly 3 hours of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: EDT viewers need 2:00 PM in Casablanca to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 7:00 PM if the event is anchored to EDT.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +5h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–12:00 PM EDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from EDT and need Casablanca colleagues present.
- Casablanca: Clocks fall back on Sun, Feb 7, 2027. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.
About EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is used during the summer months (second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November) in the Eastern Time Zone. During EDT, clocks are advanced by one hour to take advantage of longer daylight hours. Not all locations in the Eastern Time Zone observe DST – Panama, Jamaica, and most of the Caribbean remain on EST year-round.
About WET (Western European Time)
Western European Time (WET) is used in Portugal, the Canary Islands (Spain), Morocco, and several other locations. It is equivalent to GMT/UTC. During summer, Portugal and the Canary Islands switch to WEST (Western European Summer Time, UTC+01:00).
