- •EDT is observed from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November.
- •During EDT, the US East Coast is only 4 hours behind London (instead of 5).
- •Not all EST locations switch to EDT – Panama and Jamaica stay on EST year-round.

UTC+02:00Eastern European Time (EET) is used in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and northeastern Africa, 2 hours ahead of UTC.
- •EET covers countries across three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Everything You Need to Know About EDT and EET Time
EDT runs on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) at UTC-04:00. EET runs on Eastern European Time (EET) at UTC+02:00. That puts EDT 6 hours ahead of EET — a difference of +6h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in EDT it is 3:00 PM in EET. Midnight in EDT is 6:00 AM in EET. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert EDT to EET time
- Scheduling a call from EDT to EET: a 10:00 AM start in EDT lands at 4:00 PM in EET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both EDT and EET are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM EDT time (3:00 PM–5:00 PM EET). That is roughly 2 hours of usable overlap.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking EET local time against EDT keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +6h offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +6h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–11:00 AM EDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from EDT and need EET colleagues present.
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 EET (Eastern European Time)
Eastern European Time (EET) covers a wide geographical area including Eastern Europe (Finland, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine), the Middle East (Israel, Lebanon, Jordan), and northeastern Africa (Egypt, Libya). During summer, most EET countries switch to Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+03:00). Turkey permanently moved to UTC+03:00 in 2016, effectively leaving EET.
Best time to call between EDT and EET
Both EDT and EET sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–11:00 AM EDT, which is 3:00 PM–5:00 PM EET. That gives roughly 2 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
EDT and EET overlap for about 2 hours during the working day — enough for meetings if you avoid the edges of the window.
EDT is 6 hours ahead of EET (EDT UTC-04:00 → EET UTC+02:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–11:00 AM EDT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
