When converting from GMT to AKST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM GMT equals 12:00 AM AKST, 12:00 PM noon GMT equals 3:00 AM AKST, and 5:00 PM GMT equals 8:00 AM AKST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across GMT and AKST
For professionals scheduling meetings between GMT and AKST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 9 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
GMT observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to BST (UTC+1) during summer months. AKST observes DST, switching to AKDT (UTC-8). 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.
