UTC to New York time difference
New York is five hours behind UTC when it is on EST. A timestamp of 18:00 UTC corresponds to 1:00 PM in New York during standard time.
During daylight time New York uses EDT at UTC-4, so the same 18:00 UTC timestamp is 2:00 PM locally. UTC does not change, making the selected New York date the key variable.
