Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Georgetown's time zone, daylight saving rules, and scheduling across it. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- Why is Georgetown’s time zone easy to coordinate with?
- Guyana stays at UTC-04:00 year-round with no daylight saving time, so its own clock never changes. The gap to the eastern US and Britain still shifts by an hour when those places change their clocks.
- How early do people usually start work?
- Sunrise near 6 AM in Georgetown sets a natural rhythm; most offices kick off around 7:30–8:30 AM, making mornings ideal for calls with East Coast America and Western Europe.
- When is Georgetown aligned with New York?
- During US daylight saving time (roughly March–November), Georgetown shares the same clock as New York and Toronto at UTC-04:00, so a 9 AM meeting there is 9 AM in Georgetown too. In winter, Georgetown is one hour ahead.
- How does the -4 offset help with European partners?
- When London is on GMT (late October to late March), it is four hours ahead, so 1 PM in Georgetown is 5 PM in London. During British Summer Time the gap widens to five hours.
- Does daylight saving affect Guyana at all?
- No. Guyana does not use daylight saving time. Its last clock change was in 1992, when it moved from UTC-03:00 to its current UTC-04:00.
- Are there seasons that change working hours?
- No. Close to the equator, Georgetown gets daylight from about 6 AM to 6 PM all year, so working hours don't shift with the seasons.
- What’s a good time slot for tri-continent calls?
- Morning in Georgetown works best: 9 AM there is 1 PM in London (2 PM during British Summer Time) and 2 PM in Lagos (UTC+01:00), leaving several shared working hours.
