About BDT

Bangladesh Standard Time (BDT) is UTC+6. It is used in Bangladesh, all year.

Bangladesh Standard Time is UTC+6 with no daylight saving. It is more often written BST, which is where the trouble starts: BST also means British Summer Time at UTC+1, and the two readings are five hours apart. Converter sites split on which they answer for and rarely say. BDT is the unambiguous way to write it, and worth using in anything that matters.

About MDT

Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) is UTC−6. It is used in Denver and Salt Lake City from March to November.

Mountain Daylight Time is UTC−6, the summer clock for Denver and Salt Lake City. During those months it coincides with Central Standard Time, which is a genuine source of confusion in a country that spans both: a meeting at "6pm MDT" and one at "6pm CST" are the same instant, but the second is not a time anyone is actually on in summer.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on MDT switches to MST (UTC−7) from November to March. So the 12-hour figure on this page is correct for the part of the year when both places are actually on these abbreviations, and changes by an hour outside it.

BDT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in BDT will appear to move by an hour for everyone on the other side, twice a year, without anyone changing anything.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.

Is MDT ahead of BDT?
