When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Pacific Time and East Africa Time don't overlap on the same weekday. East Africa Time is 10 hours ahead of Pacific Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–10 AM in Pacific Time (5 PM–8 PM in East Africa Time) — suggest 8:00 AM Pacific Time (6:00 PM East 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.
