Recurring meetings that cross United States (Eastern) should be checked around Mar, Nov; one side may move before the other.
Use the local time after the transition for departures, hotel check-ins, and event tickets. The repeated fall-back hour can make same-night schedules ambiguous.
Store timestamps in UTC, then render wall-clock time with America/New_York. Spring-forward gaps and fall-back repeats should not be hand-coded from country names.
Most recent sampled transition: 2026-03-08 01:59 to 03:00 (EST → EDT).

Practical use cases
Trust boundaries
These retained city pages use the same IANA zone as this DST reference. Open them when you need live local time, travel context, holidays, airports, or city-level planning rather than the zone transition table alone.
Reference fields include the IANA zone, current offset, next transition, transition months, pattern summary, policy-source label, related city clocks, and sampled before/after abbreviations.
