Convert SGT (Singapore Time) to EEST (Eastern European Summer Time)

Best time to schedule a meeting

Standard 9–5 working hours overlap for 3 hours: 2:00 PM–5:00 PM SGT (9:00 AM–12:00 PM EEST). Schedule meetings inside that window.

SGT to EEST conversion table

About SGT

Singapore Time (SGT) is UTC+8. It is used in Singapore and Malaysia.

Singapore Time is UTC+8 with no daylight saving. The offset is a historical curiosity: Singapore sits at about 104°E, which is geographically UTC+7, and moved to +8 in 1982 to align with Malaysia and Hong Kong for trade. The result is that the sun is at its highest around 1pm rather than noon, and sunrise is late all year.

About EEST

Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) is UTC+3. It is used in Athens, Helsinki and Kyiv in summer.

Eastern European Summer Time is UTC+3, the summer clock for Greece, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria and the Baltics. In summer it coincides with Moscow Time, which does not move — so Helsinki and Moscow agree for half the year and differ by an hour for the other half, without Moscow having changed anything.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on EEST switches to EET (UTC+2) from late October to late March. So the 5-hour figure on this page is correct for the part of the year when both places are actually on these abbreviations, and changes by an hour outside it.

SGT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in SGT will appear to move by an hour for everyone on the other side, twice a year, without anyone changing anything.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
