UTC−5

UTC−5 is a time offset that subtracts 5 hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It is used in several countries primarily in the Western Hemisphere. The time zone is used as standard time (all year round) in some areas of the world, and as a daylight saving or summer time in other areas.

Regions in Standard Time all year

• Parts of Canada, including Quebec, most of Ontario, Nunavut (east), and most of the Caribbean Islands.
• Some areas of Ecuador, including the Galápagos Islands.
• Colombia, Ecuador (except Galápagos), Peru, and Panama use this as their standard time.

Regions using Daylight Saving Time

• Parts of the United States, including the eastern part, which switches to Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4) during daylight saving time.
• Parts of Canada, including Quebec, most of Ontario, and Nunavut (east), which switch to Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4) during daylight saving time.
• Bahamas and Haiti also switch to Eastern Daylight Time (UTC−4) during daylight saving time.

Regions in Standard Time during Southern Hemisphere summer

• Brazil: Acre Time (Acre) and Amazon Time (Amazonas except southwestern part, Rondônia, Roraima, Pará, Amapá).
