<p>Is Alabama on daylight savings time? I had e-mailed to find out what time move-in sign-up begins, and the reply was 8 am central standard time. We’re on daylight savings time here so that seemed odd, and made me think that maybe the entire state stays on standard time. Anyone know?</p>

<p>Yes…Alabama is on Daylight Savings Time. It’s 6:20 now and very light outside. :)</p>

<p>Hmm, then I’m going to guess that e-mail was in error. It makes no sense to have something scheduled on standard time when we’re currently in daylight savings time.</p>

<p>It probably should have said, Central Time Zone.</p>

<p>Alabama is mostly in the Central Time Zone*. Many people get confused as to CDT and CST and will use them interchangeably. </p>

<p>*The area in and around Phenix City, Alabama is in the Eastern Time Zone as Columbus, Georgia is nearby and is a larger city.</p>
