SGT to AST Converter

Converting Singapore Time to Atlantic Standard Time

Singapore Time (SGT) and Atlantic Standard Time (AST) are separated by a 12 hours time difference. AST is 12 hours behind SGT. SGT is UTC+8, used in Singapore, while AST is UTC-4, used in Canada, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands.

When converting from SGT to AST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM SGT equals 9:00 PM AST, 12:00 PM noon SGT equals 12:00 AM AST, and 5:00 PM SGT equals 5:00 AM AST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across SGT and AST

For professionals scheduling meetings between SGT and AST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 12 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

SGT does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+8 year-round. AST observes DST, switching to ADT (UTC-3). 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.
