UTC to BST — British Summer Time is the same time

British Summer Time (BST) is the same time of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) while both are on standard time. Once daylight saving starts the gap becomes 1 hour ahead, so any recurring meeting between these two regions moves by an hour twice a year.

Standard time

the same time

Applies while neither zone is on daylight saving — broadly November to March in the northern hemisphere.

Daylight saving

1 hour ahead

Applies while the clocks are forward. This pair does not keep a constant gap, so check the date.

How the two zones line up

Coordinated Universal Time sits at UTC+0 in winter and does not observe daylight saving. British Summer Time sits at UTC+0 and UTC+1 respectively. The difference between those two offsets is the number you add or subtract.

Daylight saving

The two working days overlap almost completely, so any normal meeting slot works for both sides.
