Time in Vermont
Time in Vermont, as in all US states, is regulated by the United States Department of Transportation.[1] Vermont is in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) and observes daylight saving time (DST).
| Time | UTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Standard time (winter) | Eastern Standard Time (EST) | UTC−05:00 |
| Daylight time (summer) | Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) | UTC−04:00 |
All counties in Vermont use Eastern time.
Independent of daylight saving time, solar noon in Vermont on the March equinox is approximately 11:53 in the northeast corner of the state and 12:00 in the southwest corner. New England, which includes Vermont, is one of the few areas in the United States where solar noon is before noon.
