Converting Central Standard Time to Moscow Standard Time
Central Standard Time (CST) and Moscow Standard Time (MSK) are separated by a 9 hours time difference. MSK is 9 hours ahead of CST. CST is UTC-6, used in United States, Canada, Mexico, while MSK is UTC+3, used in Russia.
When converting from CST to MSK, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM CST equals 6:00 PM MSK, 12:00 PM noon CST equals 9:00 PM MSK, and 5:00 PM CST equals 2:00 AM MSK. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across CST and MSK
For professionals scheduling meetings between CST and MSK, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 9 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
CST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to CDT (UTC-5) during summer months. MSK does not observe DST, staying at UTC+3 year-round. During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
