Questions

What is the time difference between MST and CST?

Right now CST is 1 hour ahead of MST. The gap can change by an hour when daylight saving time starts or ends, because not every zone switches on the same date (or at all).

How do I convert MST to CST?

Add 1 hour to the MST time. For example, 12:00 PM MST is 1:00 PM CST.

Is it MST or MDT right now?

People often say “MST” all year, but during daylight saving time (mid-March to early November in the US) the zone is on MDT. It's MST right now. The converter above uses the correct one automatically.

Is it CST or CDT right now?

People often say “CST” all year, but during daylight saving time (mid-March to early November in the US) the zone is on CDT. It's CST right now. The converter above uses the correct one automatically.
