North American time zones:

MST – Mountain Standard Time

Time zone offset: UTC - 7 hours

MST is 7 hours behind of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Note that most places observe daylight saving time/summer time during summer, and are therefore using MDT instead in the summer. See below for details.

Time zone abbreviations: MST, HNR

Full name is Mountain Standard Time
HNR – Heure Normale des Rocheuses (French)

Email time zone indicator: -0700

An email sent from someone in the MST time zone will have the time zone listed as "-0700" in the headers of the email. (However, "-0700" does not have to be in MST, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).

For actual dates DST might be observed, look at the examples below
