ADT is 1 hour behind O.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, ADT is 1 hour behind O. From Nov 1, 2026 to Mar 14, 2027, AST is 2 hours behind O.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in ADT correspond to 10:00 am to 7:00 pm in O. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in AST correspond to 11:00 am to 8:00 pm in O.For most of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in ADT correspond to 10:00 to 19:00 in O. At other times of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in AST correspond to 11:00 to 20:00 in O.
