Yekaterinburg Time Zone - YEKT

Yekaterinburg Time is five hours ahead of the Coordinated Universal Time standard, written as an offset of UTC + 5:00. That means to find the standard time in the zone you must add five hours to Coordinated Universal Time.

Territories observing the time zone are primarily in Asia, or more specifically Russia.

In many of the areas where this time zone was used, during Daylight Saving (spring to summer months) Yekaterinburg Summer Time or YEKST was used. Now, the areas remain on Yekaterinburg Time or YEKT all year long, instead.
