Understanding Eastern vs. Central Time
Eastern Time (ET) covers major hubs like New York and Atlanta, shifting between UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 during daylight saving. Central Time (CT) governs cities such as Chicago and Dallas, moving between UTC−6 and UTC−5. This one-hour difference impacts cross-zone planning, especially during DST transitions, making an automated converter indispensable.
