About US Central Time

US Central Time uses the IANA timezone identifier America/Chicago. Abbreviations like CST/CDT are ambiguous (several regions reuse them), which is why software should always store the IANA name or, better, an epoch timestamp, and convert for display. Where daylight saving applies, the offset in the table above already reflects today's rules.
