When the difference changes

Moscow Time and Australian Eastern 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 3, 2026Australian Eastern Time is 7 hours ahead
October 3, 2026 – April 3, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 8 hours ahead
April 3, 2027 – October 2, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 7 hours ahead
October 2, 2027 – onwardsAustralian Eastern Time is 8 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.

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

Australian Eastern Time (AEST) is used in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane. Queensland stays on AEST all year while the southern states move to AEDT.
