Daylight Saving Time Considerations

Both Dublin and Tel Aviv observe Daylight Saving Time. Dublin uses GMT/IST (switching between standard and daylight time), while Tel Aviv uses IST/IDT. If their DST transitions happen on different dates — which is common, as the US, EU, and other regions change clocks on different weekends — the effective time difference between the two cities can shift by 1 hour for several weeks. Always double-check the actual offset during March–April and October–November.

GMT (GMT/IST) stands for the timezone used in Dublin, Ireland (UTC+0). IST (IST/IDT) is the timezone used in Tel Aviv, Israel (UTC+2). Dublin is 2 hours behind Tel Aviv.

To convert GMT to IST, add 2 hours to GMT time. For example, GMT 9:00 AM = IST 11:00 AM.
