CST currently runs on UTC−6 and UTC on UTC+0, so CST is 6 hours behind UTC. CST is currently on standard time, and UTC does not observe daylight saving time. Because both cities follow their own clock rules, the 6 hours gap you see today can shift by an hour around the spring and autumn changeovers, which is why this page calculates every value live from the official time zone database instead of a fixed offset. For meetings, the best shared working window today is 09:00–12:00 CST time, when both offices are inside normal 09:00–18:00 hours. Use the planner above to drag across a range, compare more cities, then copy a summary or add the slot straight to Google Calendar.
Daylight saving in CST and UTC
CST follows North American rules: clocks go forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November. UTC keeps the same offset all year, so any change in the gap comes from the other location.
