What is BST in MST?
Mountain Time is 7 hours behind
British Time is on UTC+1:00 and Mountain Time is on UTC−6:00 right now. Both are on daylight saving, so their clocks read BST and MDT. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes
British Time and Mountain 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:
- Now – October 25, 2026Mountain Time is 7 hours behind
- October 25, 2026 – November 1, 2026Mountain Time is 6 hours behind
- November 1, 2026 – March 14, 2027Mountain Time is 7 hours behind
- March 14, 2027 – March 28, 2027Mountain Time is 6 hours behind
- March 28, 2027 – onwardsMountain Time is 7 hours behind
Periods shorter than a day are not listed: both zones change at 2am in their own local time, so there are a few hours on each transition date when the gap is briefly something else.

Scheduling between the two
Working hours overlap from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm BST, which is 9:00 am to 11:00 am MDT. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.
A note on BST: it can also mean Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). This page means British Summer Time.
British Time (BST) is used in the whole United Kingdom. In winter the UK is on GMT; from late March to late October it is on BST, an hour ahead.
Mountain Time (MDT) is used in Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Calgary. Arizona keeps MST all year and does not follow MDT.
