About Grenada's time
A single time zone.
Grenada keeps things simple with a single timezone — Atlantic Standard Time (AST) at UTC-4 — and it doesn't observe daylight saving time, so the offset stays the same year-round.

Things about Grenada's time.
Grenada shares its UTC-4 offset with several other Caribbean islands, so coordinating calls or flights across the region is straightforward. However, it's worth noting that some neighboring Caribbean territories (like the U.S. Virgin Islands) switch between AST and Atlantic Daylight Time, creating brief windows of time difference during DST months. For remote workers in Grenada, the consistent UTC-4 offset makes scheduling with teams in U.S. Eastern Time especially convenient — it's the same offset during EST and just one hour off EDT, avoiding the headache of adjusting clocks twice a year.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Grenada's time zone, daylight saving rules, and how to handle it in software. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- Does Grenada observe daylight saving time?
- No, Grenada does not observe daylight saving time. The country stays on Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) all year long.
- What is the timezone in Grenada?
- Grenada uses Atlantic Standard Time (AST) at UTC-4 as its only timezone.
- Is Grenada on the same time as the U.S. East Coast?
- Partially. During U.S. Eastern Standard Time (winter months), Grenada is on the exact same time. During U.S. Eastern Daylight Time (spring through fall), the East Coast moves to UTC-4 as well — so they're also aligned. Grenada is essentially always the same as or very close to U.S. Eastern Time.
- How many timezones does Grenada have?
- Just one — America/Grenada (AST, UTC-4).
- Will the time difference between Grenada and New York change during the year?
- It stays very consistent. During U.S. Eastern Standard Time, they're identical (both UTC-4). During U.S. Eastern Daylight Time, New York also shifts to UTC-4, so they match again. The only scenario where they'd differ is if the U.S. were somehow not observing DST — but under current rules, they're always in sync.
- Is Grenada in the same timezone as other Caribbean islands?
- Yes, many Caribbean islands including Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, and Dominica also use UTC-4 without DST, making regional coordination easy.
- What is the IANA timezone identifier for Grenada?
- The IANA timezone database lists Grenada as America/Grenada.
