CST to CDT Time

A CST to CDT Time Converter is a practical tool designed to convert Central Standard Time (CST) to Central Daylight Time (CDT). While both time formats belong to the Central Time Zone (CT) of the United States and Canada, they represent different parts of the year based on Daylight Saving Time (DST).

• CST (Central Standard Time) = UTC -6
• CDT (Central Daylight Time) = UTC -5
• CDT is 1 hour ahead of CST.

This conversion is especially important during the transitions into and out of Daylight Saving Time, affecting schedules for business, travel, and online activities.

Time Difference:

CDT is 1 hour ahead of CST

(For example, 10:00 AM CST = 11:00 AM CDT)
