Frequently asked questions
Why is Newfoundland on a 30-minute timezone?
Newfoundland chose UTC-3:30 in 1935 because its longitude (52.5°W) sits exactly halfway between Atlantic Time (UTC-4) and the next zone east. The 30-minute offset was a local compromise.
Does Newfoundland observe daylight saving time?
Yes. Newfoundland observes DST (NDT, UTC-2:30) on the same dates as the rest of Canada: second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November.
What is the time difference between Newfoundland and New York?
Newfoundland is 1.5 hours ahead of US Eastern Time. When it is noon in St. John's, it is 10:30 AM in New York.
