Daylight saving notes

In the United States and Canada, daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. That affects Newfoundland Daylight Time (NDT).

NDT to AST conversion chart

For example, a 9:00 AM NDT meeting takes place at 7:30 AM AST. Concretely, when St. John's (NDT) and Halifax (AST) set up a call, aST is 1 hour and 30 minutes behind NDT.

This chart uses the fixed NDT and AST offsets; the live converter above follows current daylight saving.

Convert NDT to AST Time Zone

A quick guide to NDT → AST: the time gap, the live clocks, scheduling tips, and how we keep it accurate.

How does the NDT to AST converter work?

It takes three quick steps:

  1. Click the NDT field on the left and pick the time you want to convert.
  2. The matching AST time updates on the right automatically — there’s no button to press.
  3. Need a different day? Click the date field and the result follows, rolling over if it crosses midnight.

What is the time difference between NDT and AST?

AST is 1 hour and 30 minutes behind NDT. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just subtract 1 hour 30 min to get the other — so a call between St. John's and Halifax is always 1 hour 30 min apart.

What's the current time in AST?

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.

And what time is it in NDT?

And in Newfoundland Daylight Time (NDT), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 3:23:58 PM. Compare the two and the 1 hour 30 min gap is easy to see.

Planning a meeting across NDT and AST?

For example, a 9:00 AM NDT meeting takes place at 7:30 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.

Does daylight saving time change the NDT–AST difference?

The labels NDT and AST are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Both regions move their clocks for daylight saving on roughly the same weekends, so the 1 hour 30 min gap usually holds steady right through the year.

How accurate is this NDT to AST conversion?

We don’t guess. NDT and AST times are worked out from the official IANA time zone database, the trusted standard that operating systems use worldwide. Because daylight-saving rules and regional offsets do change over time, we track those updates rather than relying on a fixed number — which is exactly where many converters slip up.

Frequently asked questions

How many hours behind NDT is AST?

AST is 1 hour and 30 minutes behind NDT — a fixed 1 hour and 30 minutes difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.

What time is it in AST when it's 12:00 PM NDT?

When it's 12:00 PM (noon) NDT, it's 10:30 AM AST.

Do NDT or AST use daylight saving time?

Newfoundland Daylight Time (NDT) observes daylight saving, alternating with NST; Atlantic Standard Time (AST) observes daylight saving, alternating with ADT.

Why might the real-world NDT–AST difference change during the year?

The labels NDT and AST are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Newfoundland Daylight Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want NST to AST. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
