This time difference never changes
Neither side observes daylight saving against the other, so the gap stays constant all year. Regions on NST switch to NDT (UTC−2:30) during daylight saving time. Regions on EST switch to EDT (UTC−4) during daylight saving time. This page always shows the live, DST-aware difference.
