In Mexico, this time zone is known as Zona Pacifico (Pacific Zone). It is 6 hours behind UTC and turns into MST in the summer. MDT is observed in the Western part of central US and Canada, as well as the North West corner of Mexico. As always, it is better to look up the actual location than the timezone itself. It is important to note that with the exception of Panama, Jamaica and a couple of locations in Canada and the US most in this time zone do observe DST and thus switch to EDT in the summer. Also some Caribbean locations such as Jamaica, Haiti and Panama are in this time zone. Locations such as New York, Washington, Quebec and Ontario are all on Eastern Standard Time. Most of the Eastern seaboard of the US observe EST, as well as most locations in Eastern Canada although there are a few exceptions. It is important to note that there is also Eastern Standard Time in Australia, but this is usually called AEST and thus not to be confused with EST. The origin of EST is the same as for most time zones – it was introduced when the railroad was built across the United States. It is in most places observed only in the winter months, from November to March. This is the standard time of the Eastern US, Canada and parts of the Caribbean. ![]()
