AEDT

Australian Eastern Daylight Time

Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) covers bustling East Coast cities like Sydney and Melbourne but is right now sitting on its standard offset of UTC+10:00 since daylight saving ended in April. Because every zone in the region participates in DST, you can expect clocks to spring forward to AEDT each October and fall back to AEST in April, a seasonal rhythm that keeps everyone aligned for meetings and broadcasts across the region.
