ART vs AST: what's the time gap?
AST is 1 hour behind ART. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just subtract 1 hour to get the other — so a call between Buenos Aires and Halifax is always 1 hour apart.
What time is it in AST right now?
Right now the time in Atlantic Standard Time (AST) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 1:53:58 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live AST clock.
What time is it in ART right now?
And in Argentina Time (ART), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 2:53:58 PM. Compare the two and the 1 hour gap is easy to see.
Planning a meeting across ART and AST?
For example, a 9:00 AM ART meeting takes place at 8:00 AM AST. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
How does daylight saving affect ART to AST?
The labels ART and AST are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. One side switches between standard and summer time while the other stays put, so the real-world gap can shift by an hour for part of the year. It's worth checking which label a region is actually using before you lock in a time.
Why can you trust this ART to AST converter?
Every conversion here is calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone, computer, and browser rely on. Plenty of tools hard-code a single offset, which quietly goes wrong whenever a region changes its rules or flips for daylight saving. We follow the real rules instead, so ART to AST stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours behind ART is AST?
AST is 1 hour behind ART — a fixed 1 hour difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.
What time is it in AST when it's 12:00 PM ART?
When it's 12:00 PM (noon) ART, it's 11:00 AM AST.
Do ART or AST use daylight saving time?
Argentina Time (ART) is a fixed offset with no daylight saving; Atlantic Standard Time (AST) observes daylight saving, alternating with ADT.
Why might the real-world ART–AST difference change during the year?
The labels ART and AST are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Atlantic Standard Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want ART to ADT. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
