Time Zone
The Cayman Islands are in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, the same as the eastern seaboard of the United States. The islands do not observe Daylight Saving Time and so in the summer, when the eastern seaboard moves onto Summer Time, the islands are an hour behind.
During the winter the Cayman Islands are five hours behind Britain (GMT) and six behind mainland Europe, and during the summer (British Summer Time) they are six hours behind Britain and seven behind Europe. |
