When the difference changes

Atlantic Time and Moscow Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. Now – March 14, 2027Moscow Time is 7 hours ahead
  2. March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Moscow Time is 6 hours ahead
  3. November 7, 2027 – onwardsMoscow Time is 7 hours ahead

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Daylight saving

Atlantic Time

Sunday, March 14, 2027

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on ADT after that.

Moscow Time

No clock changes

Moscow Time stays on MSK all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 11:00 am AST, which is 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm MSK. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

A note on AST: it can also mean Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3). This page means Atlantic Time.

Atlantic Time (AST) is used in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Puerto Rico

Moscow Time (MSK) is used in western Russia. Russia abolished daylight saving in 2011.
