Offset

The time difference between Mountain Time and Central Africa Time is 8 hours.

8 hours

Mountain Time (MDT) is behind Central Africa Time (CAT).

MDT: UTC-6

CAT: UTC+2

Mountain Time is currently observing daylight saving time; Central Africa Time is not.

When to schedule

Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Mountain Time and Central Africa Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Central Africa Time is 8 hours ahead of Mountain Time.

With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:

  • 7 AM–12 PM in Mountain Time (3 PM–8 PM in Central Africa Time) — suggest 9:00 AM Mountain Time (5:00 PM Central Africa Time).

This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.

This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.

Public holidays in 2026

National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
