The Central Time Zone (CT) covers all of the states of Minnesota, as well as applying in many other parts of the US and Central America too. CT comes in two varieties: Central Standard Time (CST) and Central Daylight Time (CDT). The standard version is six hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), while the daylight version is five hours behind UTC.
The whole of MN, just like the vast majority of other US states, utilizes daylight savings time for several months of the year. In Minnesota and other US states, daylight savings time begins on the second Sunday of March and runs through to the first Sunday of November. During this period each year, MN observes CDT rather than CST.
