Taking 9 AM to 5 PM on each clock as the working day, both zones are at work from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM BST (9:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST). _Figure: A day on BST clocks with BST and EST working hours, 9 AM to 5 PM on each clock. They share 4 hours._ One day on BST clocks, with the same moments read on EST clocks underneath. A team spread across two time zones has fewer chances to notice someone drifting away. TeamPredict reads public LinkedIn signals to flag resignation risk early, wherever people work. ## The gap between BST and EST moves between 4 hours and 5 hours during the year. The United States and Europe change their clocks on different Sundays, so for a few weeks in spring and a week in autumn the gap is an hour different from the rest of the year. _Figure: The gap between BST and EST through 2026 and 2027, coloured by size: 4 hours, 5 hours._ Each bar is one calendar year, January on the left. Days are coloured by the gap between BST and EST. ### These are the clock changes of both zones in 2026 and 2027.

What is 9 AM BST in EST? 9:00 AM BST is 5:00 AM EST, and 5:00 PM BST is 1:00 PM EST. From Sunday, November 1, 2026 the gap is 5 hours, so 9:00 AM BST is 4:00 AM EST. What is the time difference between BST and EST? UK time (BST) is 4 hours ahead of Eastern Time (EST). The gap between BST and EST moves between 4 hours and 5 hours during the year. The United States and Europe change their clocks on different Sundays, so for a few weeks in spring and a week in autumn the gap is an hour different from the rest of the year. After today, it becomes 5 hours on Sunday, November 1, 2026 and then 4 hours on Sunday, March 14, 2027. Is the UK on BST all year? No. The UK is on GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer, and right now London reads GMT. UK clocks move forward and back on these days. In 2026: Mar 29 and Oct 25. In 2027: Mar 28 and Oct 31. The gap on this page follows London's real clock. What is a good time for a meeting between BST and EST? 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM BST (9:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST) is 4 hours when both sides are inside 9 AM to 5 PM, so a meeting there starts and ends in everyone's normal day. ## Turnover is cheaper to prevent than to calculate.
