Eastern Standard Time (EST)

EST (Eastern Standard Time) is UTC-5:00, used in the eastern United States, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean during the non-DST period (roughly November to March). During summer, eastern states observe EDT (UTC-4). States like Arizona and Indiana complicate this picture — always check the IANA timezone (America/New_York) for correct DST handling.
