Worked example for New York City

A New York team working with India gets very little overlap. An 8:00 AM call in New York is 6:30 PM in Mumbai in the US winter and 5:30 PM in the US summer, so most teams use the first hour of the New York day or move the call to the New York evening, which is the next morning in India.

The US and Europe change their clocks on different weekends. For about two weeks in March and one week around the start of November, New York is only 4 hours behind London instead of 5. Recurring meetings slip by an hour during those weeks unless everyone checks the converter.

Within the US, New York is three hours ahead of Los Angeles, two hours ahead of Denver and one hour ahead of Chicago. Most of Arizona does not use daylight saving, so the gap with Phoenix is three hours in summer and two in winter.

Times for US markets, live TV and event launches are usually published in Eastern Time, so many people outside New York use this page to convert an ET time into their own.
