GMT and AEDT on the World Map
The map below highlights the GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) timezone regions across the globe.
GMT – Greenwich Mean Time
UTC+00:00Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. It is the same as UTC+00:00.
- •GMT is based on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) passing through Greenwich, London.
- •The Royal Observatory in Greenwich has been the reference point for GMT since 1884.
- •GMT and UTC are often used interchangeably, but UTC is based on atomic clocks.
- •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.
AEDT – Australian Eastern Daylight Time
UTC+11:00Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT, UTC+11:00) is the daylight saving period in south-eastern Australia, from October to April.
- •AEDT runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April.
- •AEDT is one hour ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).
- •Queensland does not observe daylight saving, so Brisbane stays on AEST.
- •During AEDT, Sydney is 16 hours ahead of New York and 11 hours ahead of UTC.
Understanding the +11h Gap: GMT vs AEDT
GMT runs on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) at UTC+00:00. AEDT runs on Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) at UTC+11:00. That puts GMT 11 hours ahead of AEDT — a difference of +11h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in GMT it is 8:00 PM in AEDT. Midnight in GMT is 11:00 AM in AEDT. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert GMT to AEDT time
- Scheduling a call from GMT to AEDT: a 10:00 AM start in GMT lands at 9:00 PM in AEDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +11h gap: GMT and AEDT have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in AEDT is 8:00 PM in GMT.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in GMT is 7:00 AM in AEDT makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM GMT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +11h gap is not.
- With a +11h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week GMT takes the early slot, the next week AEDT does.
About GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the clock time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, which sits on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude). GMT serves as the reference point from which all other time zones are calculated. 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 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.
Best time to call between GMT and AEDT
With a +11h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. AEDT opens at 9:00 AM AEDT, which is 8:00 PM in GMT, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.
Business hours overlap
GMT and AEDT have no shared working hours because of the +11h gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.
GMT is 11 hours ahead of AEDT (GMT UTC+00:00 → AEDT UTC+11:00). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
