2115 Zulu (UTC) in US time zones

Military and aviation schedules give times in Zulu — Coordinated Universal Time — so that everyone works from one clock. When a message says 2115Z, this is the local time across the United States:

Time zoneStandard timeDaylight time
Eastern (EST / EDT)4:15 PM — R5:15 PM — Q
Central (CST / CDT)3:15 PM — S4:15 PM — R
Mountain (MST / MDT)2:15 PM — T3:15 PM — S
Pacific (PST / PDT)1:15 PM — U2:15 PM — T
Alaska (AKST / AKDT)12:15 PM — V1:15 PM — U
Hawaii (HST)11:15 AM — WNo daylight time

The letter after each time is that zone’s military time-zone letter: Eastern standard time is R (Romeo, UTC−5), so 2115Z is 1615R. Daylight time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November; Hawaii and most of Arizona stay on standard time all year.
