East Africa Time is 9 hours ahead

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Mexico City and one in Nairobi — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Mexico City is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Nairobi.

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.

East Africa Time (EAT) is used in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia
