About Central Daylight Time (CDT)
Central Daylight Time (CDT, IANA: America/Chicago during DST window) is the summer-time variant of CST, set at UTC-5:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the US Energy Policy Act of 2005. CDT shares the same UTC offset as Eastern Standard Time (EST), so during winter months Chicago/Dallas are one hour behind New York/Atlanta, but during summer months Chicago/Dallas are still one hour behind because both regions advance equally for DST. The 'spring forward / fall back' transition affects an estimated 311 million US residents annually per Census data. CDT is used in 16 US states partially or fully (Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota) and parts of Canada (Manitoba, western Ontario, Saskatchewan partial — Saskatchewan stays on CST year-round, an exception). Affects MLB season game scheduling, CME / CBOT commodity trading hours, and US-Canada-Mexico USMCA cross-border supply-chain handoffs.
About Fiji Time (FJT)
Fiji Time (FJT, IANA: Pacific/Fiji) is the civil time of the Republic of Fiji, set at UTC+12:00. Fiji observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to FJST = UTC+13) from approximately early November to mid-January each year per Fijian government decree (the exact schedule varies by year — typically announced 1-2 months in advance by the Office of the Prime Minister). FJT is identical in offset to New Zealand Standard Time (NZST), Tuvalu Time, Marshall Islands Time, Wallis and Futuna Time, and Nauru Time. Fiji is one of the first inhabited countries to see each new calendar day (along with Kiribati's Line Islands at UTC+14 — the world's eastern-most permanent time zone), which has made Fiji a popular destination for 'first sunrise of the new year' tourism. FJT serves approximately 935,000 Fijian citizens across 332 islands (110 inhabited) including Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Kadavu. Major FJT cities: Suva (94K city, 175K metro — capital on Viti Levu), Nadi (45K — main international airport gateway + tourism hub on western Viti Levu), Lautoka (53K — second-largest city), Labasa (28K — Vanua Levu commercial center), Ba (15K), Levuka (1K — historic former capital + UNESCO World Heritage Site). Affects: South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) Suva trading, Fijian sugar-cane harvest export shipping, and Coral-coast + Mamanuca-island resort tourism.
