Good to know

This time difference never changes

Neither side observes daylight saving against the other, so the gap stays constant all year. MDT is the daylight-saving counterpart of MST (UTC−7). Regions on EST switch to EDT (UTC−4) during daylight saving time. This page always shows the live, DST-aware difference.
