Israel Daylight Time (IDT) operates at UTC+3 hours during the summer months when daylight saving time is in effect. Sometimes referred to as "Israeli Summer Time," IDT shifts clocks forward by one hour from Israel Standard Time (IST, UTC+2) to make better use of daylight in the evenings across Israel.
Importance and Global Use of IDT
IDT is important for supporting Israel's seasonal needs, helping businesses, schools, and public services take advantage of extended daylight hours. This improves energy efficiency and allows smoother operations for sectors like tourism, technology, and agriculture, aligning schedules with longer summer days.
On a global level, Israel Daylight Time aids coordination with international partners across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Its UTC+3 offset supports effective communication, trade, and diplomatic relations during the daylight saving period, maintaining Israel's connectivity in the region and globally.
