Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between EDT and PET?

During standard time, Peru Time is 1 hours behind Eastern Daylight Time.

When does EDT start and end?

EDT begins on the second Sunday in March at 02:00 local time, when clocks spring forward one hour from EST (UTC-5) to EDT (UTC-4). It ends on the first Sunday in November at 02:00 local time, when clocks fall back to EST. In 2026, EDT runs from March 8 through November 1.

Is EDT the same as EST?

EDT and EST are two phases of the same Eastern Time zone, not two separate zones. EST (Eastern Standard Time) is the winter offset at UTC-5, observed from early November through mid-March. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is the summer offset at UTC-4, active during Daylight Saving Time — meaning New York and Toronto run one hour ahead of their winter clock for roughly eight months of every year.

Does Peru observe Daylight Saving Time?

Peru does not observe Daylight Saving Time and has not done so since 1994. PET remains fixed at UTC-05:00 throughout the entire year, with no seasonal clock changes affecting business hours, market schedules, or international coordination.

How does Peru Time (PET) align with the US?

PET (UTC-05:00) is identical to US Eastern Standard Time (EST) during the Northern Hemisphere winter — Lima and New York run on the exact same clock. When the US shifts to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-04:00) in summer, PET falls one hour behind, but a full shared workday between Peru and the US East Coast remains entirely achievable without scheduling concessions on either side.
