INFORMATION

Know your time zones when travelling abroad

Here’s a breakdown of the time differences between each of the countries you listed and four major U.S. time zones:

  • West Coast = Pacific Time (PT)
  • Midwest = Central Time (CT)
  • Central (U.S.) = often overlaps with CT (used interchangeably here)
  • East Coast = Eastern Time (ET)

Assuming current time is June 2025, and all U.S. time zones are on Daylight Saving Time (DST) (i.e., PDT, CDT, EDT):

CountryLocal Time Zonevs West Coast (PDT)vs Midwest (CDT)vs East Coast (EDT)
Mexico (Mexico City)UTC -6 (No DST)+1 hourSame time-1 hour
BelizeUTC -6 (No DST)+1 hourSame time-1 hour
JamaicaUTC -5 (No DST)+2 hours+1 hourSame time
KenyaUTC +3+10 hours+8 hours+7 hours
TanzaniaUTC +3+10 hours+8 hours+7 hours
UgandaUTC +3+10 hours+8 hours+7 hours

Notes:

  • U.S. DST shifts U.S. time 1 hour forward (e.g., PDT = UTC-7 instead of UTC-8).
  • Mexico, Belize, Jamaica, and East African countries do not observe DST, so differences are larger during U.S. summer months.
