Eastern Time (ET), as used on this wiki, refers to the US Eastern Time Zone, which is defined as:

  • UTC -5 hours during Standard Time — Eastern Standard Time (EST)
  • UTC -4 hours during Daylight Saving Time — Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Daylight Saving Time is observed in the US Eastern Time Zone:

  • Begins at 02:00 EST on the second Sunday in March (becomes 03:00 EDT)
  • Ends at 02:00 EDT on the first Sunday in November (becomes 01:00 EST)

Currently, EST is in use.
