Moscow uses Moscow Standard Time (MSK, UTC+3) year-round with no Daylight Saving Time — Russia permanently abandoned DST in 2014. The fixed UTC+3 offset means the Moscow–Western Europe gap changes by one hour when Europe transitions clocks.
New York City operates on Eastern Time — Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC−4) in summer. US clocks spring forward on the second Sunday of March and fall back on the first Sunday of November. NYSE and NASDAQ market hours (9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET) make Eastern Time one of the most referenced zones in global finance.
Both Moscow and New York may observe Daylight Saving Time, which means the offset between them can change twice a year. Here is what to expect each season.
| Period | Note | Moscow | New York | Offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov – Mar | Both on standard time | GMT+3 (UTC+3) | EST (UTC−5) | 8 hours |
| Mar – late Mar | US clocks forward, some zones still on standard | GMT+3 (UTC+3) | EDT (UTC−4) | 7 hours |
| Late Mar – Oct current | Both on summer / daylight time | GMT+3 (UTC+3) | EDT (UTC−4) | 7 hours |
| Late Oct – early Nov | Clocks transitioning — check exact date | GMT+3 (UTC+3) | EST (UTC−5) | 8 hours |
The transition window typically lasts 1–2 weeks in spring and autumn. If you have a recurring weekly meeting near a clock change, verify the exact date to avoid a missed call.
