What is the significance of GMT?
Greenwich Mean Time or GMT is the clock time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. It is the same all year round and is not affected by Summer Time or Daylight Saving Time. GMT was originally set-up to aid naval navigation when travel around the globe started to open up with the discovery of the “New World” (America) in the fifteenth century.
Does GMT use daylight savings time?
“Daylight savings time” can be applied to GMT (to give BST) and to EST (to give EDT). Daylight saving can be applied to GMT, but of course GMT itself remains unchanged. I live in England and we use “daylight saving” in the summer when one hour is added to GMT and we call that British Summer Time (BST).
