About AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time)
Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) is the daylight saving period in south-eastern Australia, one hour ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10:00). Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, AEDT runs through the summer — from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April — which is almost exactly the reverse of the European and North American schedules. New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory observe it; Queensland and the Northern Territory do not, so Brisbane stays on AEST year round while Sydney moves to AEDT. During AEDT, Sydney is 11 hours ahead of UTC and 16 hours ahead of New York.
About ICT (Indochina Time)
Indochina Time (ICT) is used across Southeast Asia including Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Indonesia (Western time, WIB) also uses UTC+07:00. ICT does not observe daylight saving time.
