- •Iceland uses GMT year-round and never observes daylight saving time.
- •The UK switches from GMT to BST (British Summer Time) in late March each year.
MDT – Mountain Daylight Time
UTC-06:00Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) is the daylight saving offset in the Mountain Time Zone, 6 hours behind UTC.

Understanding the -6h Gap: Ghana vs MDT
Ghana runs on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) at UTC+00:00. MDT runs on Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) at UTC-06:00. That puts Ghana 6 hours behind MDT — a difference of -6h at the current offsets.

Why people convert Ghana to MDT time
- Scheduling a call from Ghana to MDT: a 10:00 AM start in Ghana lands at 4:00 AM in MDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Ghana and MDT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM GMT time (9:00 AM–11:00 AM MDT). That is roughly 2 hours of usable overlap.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking MDT local time against Ghana keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the -6h offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM GMT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -6h gap is not.
- Block 3:00 PM–5:00 PM GMT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Ghana and need MDT colleagues present.
About GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)

The United Kingdom uses GMT during winter months and switches to British Summer Time (BST, UTC+01:00) from late March to late October. Several West African nations use GMT year-round. GMT is often used interchangeably with UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), although technically they are different – UTC is based on atomic clocks while GMT is based on Earth's rotation.
About MDT (Mountain Daylight Time)
Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) is observed during summer months in the Mountain Time Zone, except in Arizona which stays on MST year-round. MDT aligns with Central Standard Time (CST) at UTC-06:00.
