Daylight saving time and the CST–EST gap

Central Time (CST/CDT) — US daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November (clocks forward at 2:00 AM). UTC offset in January: UTC−6; in July: UTC−5.

Eastern Time (EST/EDT) — US daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November (clocks forward at 2:00 AM). UTC offset in January: UTC−5; in July: UTC−4.

Because the offset between the two never changes, you can memorize one rule: add 1 hour.
