About Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, IANA: America/New_York during DST window) is the summer-time variant of EST, set at UTC-4:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the US Energy Policy Act of 2005. EDT shares the same UTC offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST — observed year-round in Canadian Maritimes Nova Scotia/New Brunswick/PEI and in Caribbean Puerto Rico/USVI/Bermuda) and as Bolivia/Chile/Paraguay Standard Time. The 'spring forward' transition at 02:00 EDT in March is the largest single coordinated time change in human history, affecting ~150 million US East Coast residents simultaneously per US Census. Florida passed the Sunshine Protection Act in 2018 attempting to stay on EDT year-round, but it required US Congressional approval (US Code 15 §260a) which has not been granted as of 2024. EDT affects: US Federal Government tax-filing deadlines (IRS Form 1040 due 23:59 EDT on April 15), NFL Sunday Night Football scheduling, and US Supreme Court oral-argument schedules in DC.
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.
