Pronunciation: [sˈɛntɹə͡l stˈandəd tˈa͡ɪm] (IPA) 
Central Standard Time (CST) is a time zone that encompasses much of North America, including regions of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. There are several synonymous terms used to refer to this time zone, including Central Time (CT), North American Central Time Zone, and Central Daylight Time (CDT). Central Time is six hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-6), and is used by many major cities such as Chicago, Houston, and Mexico City. CDT is used during the summer months when Daylight Saving Time is in effect, which moves the clock forward one hour to UTC-5. Overall, these terms all refer to the same time zone used throughout the central region of North America.
