What EAT and PT Actually Are
EAT — East Africa Time
Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Kampala, Mogadishu. Standing at UTC+3:00 as written, and the region does not change its clocks, so that offset holds all year.
East Africa Time is shared by a run of countries down the Rift Valley, and Ethiopia additionally keeps a traditional 12-hour clock that starts counting at dawn.
PT — Pacific Time
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, Vancouver. Standing at UTC-8:00 as written, and the region does change its clocks, so its live offset moves by an hour twice a year. The next change is on Sunday, November 1, 2026, to PST.
Pacific Time anchors the US technology industry, so a great deal of software and scheduling convention is written implicitly around it.
What This Means in Practice
The date changes mid-working-day
For 1 of the eight hours in a normal EAT working day, the equivalent PT time falls on a different calendar date. Anything scheduled in that stretch needs the date checked as well as the time, or a Tuesday call quietly becomes a Wednesday one at the other end.
This gap is not fixed
PT changes its clocks and EAT does not, so the difference between them moves by an hour twice a year. A recurring meeting set now will drift for one side from Sunday, November 1, 2026 unless someone resets it.
Nearly opposite sides of the clock
At 10 hours apart, one side's morning is the other side's night. Handing work over at the end of a shift usually beats trying to get both parties in the same call.
