EST5EDT is the time zone that covers the majority of the eastern United States of America. It is mostly identical to the “EST” (or “Zone R”, for military types) time zone, but where that time zone is always 5 hours behind GMT, EST5EDT switches between 5 and 4 hours behind GMT due to Daylight Savings Time; technically, in the U.S., EST only refers to that portion of the state of Indiana that does not follow Daylight Saving Time.

If all of this is boring you, just check before you call to see what the current time is in some cities where I often find myself.
