British Summer Time Zone - BST

British Summer Time or BST has a UTC offset of + 1:00. This means that the time zone is 1 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. The time zone is primarily observed by territories in Europe during the summer months when Daylight Saving is active. As soon as Daylight Saving ends – during the winter – some affected areas switch to Greenwich Mean Time or GMT.

It is important to note that this time zone has several labels:

• British Summer Time (BST)

• British Daylight Time (BDT)

• British Daylight Saving Time (BDST)
