Daylight Saving Time Considerations

Both Tel Aviv and Dublin observe Daylight Saving Time. Tel Aviv uses IST/IDT (switching between standard and daylight time), while Dublin uses GMT/IST. 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.

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

To convert IST to GMT, subtract 2 hours from IST time. For example, IST 9:00 AM = GMT 7:00 AM.
