The North American Central Time Zone (CT)[1] is a time zone in parts of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America and some Caribbean islands.

Central Time Zone is affected by two time designations yearly: Central Standard Time (CST) is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March. It is six hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and designated internationally as UTC−6.[2] From the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November most of this zone (20 states in the US and three provinces or territories in Canada) observes daylight saving time (DST), creating the designation of Central Daylight Time (CDT) which is five hours behind UTC and known as UTC−5 internationally.[3]
