Converting Central Standard Time to Mountain Standard Time
Central Standard Time (CST) and Mountain Standard Time (MST) are separated by a 1 hour time difference. MST is 1 hour behind CST. CST is UTC-6, used in United States, Canada, Mexico, while MST is UTC-7, used in United States, Canada.
When converting from CST to MST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM CST equals 8:00 AM MST, 12:00 PM noon CST equals 11:00 AM MST, and 5:00 PM CST equals 4:00 PM MST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across CST and MST
For professionals scheduling meetings between CST and MST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 1 hour difference, the window of overlap may be limited. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
CST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to CDT (UTC-5) during summer months. MST observes DST, switching to MDT (UTC-6). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
