Time difference between Mexico City and Nairobi

Nairobi is 9 hours ahead of Mexico City

Mexico City, Mexico is UTC−6 · Nairobi, Kenya is UTC+3 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Mexico City does not change its clocks and Nairobi does not change its clocks — so 9 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Mexico City and nine-to-five in Nairobi do not overlap at all. With 9 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.
