City pages are daylight-aware
City-to-city pages use IANA time zone identifiers, so daylight saving changes follow the named locations rather than a vague abbreviation.
When to use abbreviation pages
Use abbreviation pages for fixed reference comparisons such as EST to CET. Use city pages when a real local clock and daylight saving behavior matter.

FAQ
Are city time comparisons daylight-aware?
Yes. City pages use IANA time zone identifiers for each location.
Why not use abbreviations for every time question?
Abbreviations can be ambiguous and may not describe daylight saving changes for a specific city.
