Every hour as its own page

GMT to EAT — questions

What time is it in EAT when it is GMT now?
EAT is currently 03:26 on Thursday, 13 August 2026 (EAT, UTC+03:00), while GMT is 00:26 (UTC+00:00). That is 3 hours ahead of the source clock right now.
How many hours ahead is EAT of GMT?
3 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Greenwich Mean Time and East Africa Time change clocks on different dates (or one of them not at all), so a difference you hard-code in summer can be an hour wrong in winter. The table on this page is computed from the current tzdata rules, not from a fixed offset.
Is EAT on daylight saving time right now?
No. Africa/Nairobi is on EAT (UTC+03:00) at the moment.
Does EAT observe daylight saving time?
No. Africa/Nairobi stays on UTC+03:00 all year, so the difference from GMT only moves when GMT itself changes.
What is the best time to schedule a call between GMT and EAT?
There are 6 hours of overlap where both sides are inside a 09:00-18:00 working day. The longest block is 09:00–15:00 GMT, which is 12:00–18:00 EAT. Use the calendar buttons above to drop it straight into Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file.
Which IANA timezone name should I use for EAT in code?
Use Africa/Nairobi. Abbreviations like EAT are ambiguous and not resolvable by most libraries — Python's ZoneInfo, Java's ZoneId, Go's time.LoadLocation and JavaScript's Intl all expect the IANA name. Hard-coding UTC+03:00 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
