Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Nairobi and one in Mexico City — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Nairobi is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Mexico City.
East Africa Time (EAT) is used in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia
Central Time – Mexico (CST) is used in most of Mexico. Mexico abolished daylight saving in October 2022, so it no longer tracks US Central Time in summer.
