Time difference between Auckland and Lisbon
Lisbon is 11 hours behind Auckland
Auckland, New Zealand is UTC+12 · Lisbon, Portugal is UTC — 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 Lisbon goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.
| Auckland / Lisbon clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 11 hours behind | about 25 weeks |
| summer / standard | 13 hours behind | about 22 weeks |
| summer / summer | 12 hours behind | about 5 weeks |
These two are in opposite hemispheres, so their summers do not overlap: Auckland is on summer time roughly when Lisbon is not. The gap does not wobble by an hour around a settled figure — it swings between 11 hours and 13 hours and spends a good part of the year at each. There is no single right answer to give a calendar, which is why a recurring meeting between them is worth setting in one city's local time and letting the other side see it move.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Auckland and nine-to-five in Lisbon do not overlap at all. With 11 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.
