About TRT (Turkey Time)
Turkey Time (TRT) is fixed at UTC+03:00 all year. Turkey abolished seasonal clock changes in September 2016, moving to a permanent UTC+03:00 so the whole country stays on what was formerly summer time. That leaves Istanbul, which sits close to 29°E, on an offset well ahead of its solar time — sunrise in mid-winter comes after 08:30 local. TRT shares its offset with Moscow Standard Time, Arabia Standard Time and East Africa Time, so Istanbul is level with Moscow and Riyadh all year and one hour ahead of Central European Time during the European winter.
About EST (Eastern Standard Time)
Eastern Standard Time (EST) is observed during the winter months in the eastern part of North America. It covers 23 US states and parts of Canada including Ontario and Quebec. EST is the most populous time zone in the United States, home to major financial centers like New York City and global organizations headquartered in Washington D.C. During daylight saving time (March–November), clocks shift to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-04:00). The time zone also covers parts of the Caribbean and Central America including Panama, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands.
