Time Zone
Montserrat is on Atlantic Standard Time, which is four hours behind GMT (Britain in winter) and five behind Europe. During the winter it is an hour ahead of the eastern seaboard of the USA.
Montserrat has no summer daylight saving time, so when the clocks change for the summer farther north, the island is five hours behind Britain and on the same time as the eastern seaboard. |
