- Does this account for daylight saving time?
- Yes. We track every clock change in both places, so the abbreviations you see — CST and EDT — are the ones actually in effect right now, not a fixed all-year value. When either side changes its clocks, this page updates automatically.
- Why is the date sometimes different on each side?
