Time difference between Los Angeles and Nairobi

Nairobi is 10 hours ahead of Los Angeles

Los Angeles, the United States is UTC−8 · Nairobi, Kenya is UTC+3 — 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 Los Angeles goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November and Nairobi does not change its clocks.

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

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Los Angeles and nine-to-five in Nairobi do not overlap at all. With 10 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.
