Difference in Jamaica and Florida time zones

299 views

I live in Trinidad and we are in the same timezone as the eastern united states even though geographically we are relatively far to the east of the eastern US.

How is it then that Jamaica, which is alot closer west to the eastern US in a different time zone (GMT-5) than for instance Florida (GMT-4) and is therefore 1 hour behind?

I understand how daylight savings would influence this but right now as daylight savings are ongoing in the US, we (in Trinidad) are on the same time as the Eastern US, but Jamaica isn’t.
