Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Central Daylight Time (CDT) and Central Standard Time (CST) are seasonal variants within the overall Central Time zone. CST is observed during fall and winter (UTC−06:00), while CDT is observed during spring and summer (UTC−05:00). People often research this distinction to avoid confusion when referencing time in emails, meeting invites, or travel plans. The shift between CST and CDT can catch travelers by surprise if they’re not familiar with Daylight Saving policies, so having a clear grasp of these abbreviations is essential for seamless scheduling and punctual communication across different regions.
