Time difference between Auckland and Lagos

Lagos is 12 hours behind Auckland

Auckland, New Zealand is UTC+12 · Lagos, Nigeria is UTC+1 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Auckland goes forward on the last Sunday in September and back on the first Sunday in April and Lagos does not change its clocks.

Lagos stays put all year while Auckland moves, so a meeting fixed in Lagos's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Auckland's end.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Auckland and nine-to-five in Lagos do not overlap at all. With 12 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
