| UTC Offset: UTC +11 |
Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) operates at UTC+11 hours during the daylight saving period, typically from early October to early April. Sometimes referred to as "Eastern Daylight Savings Time," AEDT shifts clocks one hour ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10) to make better use of daylight in the summer months across eastern Australia.
Importance and Global Use of AEDT
AEDT is essential for supporting seasonal activities and energy efficiency in eastern Australia. By extending daylight hours into the evening, AEDT helps businesses, tourism, and public services make the most of summer days, improving daily routines and reducing demand for artificial lighting.
Internationally, AEDT helps Australia align with trading partners and travel schedules across the Asia-Pacific during the summer. Its UTC+11 offset ensures effective coordination for trade, diplomacy, and regional cooperation, strengthening Australia's economic and cultural connections worldwide.
