About AWST to EST Conversion

Converting time between AWST and EST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. AWST (AWST) operates at UTC+8, while EST (EST) is set to UTC-5. This means EST is 13 hours behind AWST. Note that due to the time difference, the date may change. When it's 11:17 AM AWST on February 4, 2026, it's 10:17 PM EST on February 3, 2026 in EST. America/New_York observes daylight saving time, switching between EST (UTC-5) and EDT (UTC-4), while Australia/Perth does not observe daylight saving time.
