How the working hours line up
Manila is 13 hours ahead of Chicago and Houston on CDT and 14 hours ahead on CST. A 9 AM to 5 PM Central day is 10 PM to 6 AM in Manila on CDT, or 11 PM to 7 AM on CST, so the office days do not overlap. The US Central zone changes clocks on the second Sunday of March and the first Sunday of November. Mexico City stays on CST all year, so for Mexico City the gap is always 14 hours. Early evening in Chicago, 6 to 8 PM CDT, is 7 to 9 AM in Manila, and the shift converter shows a whole Central shift in Philippine time.
Meet at the right hour
- 01Tap any clock to convert from that city: set the date and time there and every other card shows the same moment, with Tomorrow or Yesterday where the date changes.
- 02Search by abbreviation as well as city: CST, PST, EST, GMT, AEST and PHT all work, and so do states and countries such as Texas, California or Dubai.
- 03Use the meeting planner before you send an invite. Green columns are hours when everyone on your list is between 9:00 and 17:00; pick one to see it on every clock.
- 04Mind the daylight saving weeks in March, April, October and November. The Philippines does not change its clocks, so its gap to the US, Europe and Australia moves by an hour.
- 05Make your own city the home clock with the star on its card. Every other card then shows how far ahead or behind your time it is.
- 06Send a link with a converted time to a client or team: it opens the same cities at the same moment, so nobody has to do the arithmetic.
