New York is 16 hours behind Sydney in January and 14 hours behind in July, because the two zones change their clocks in opposite seasons. Sydney is on Australian Eastern Time, AEST at UTC+10 in winter and AEDT at UTC+11 in summer. New York is on US Eastern Time, EST at UTC−5 in winter and EDT at UTC−4 in summer.
