Time difference between Rome and Nairobi
Nairobi is 1 hour ahead of Rome
Rome, Italy is UTC+1 · 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 Rome goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Nairobi does not change its clocks.
| Rome / Nairobi clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| summer / standard | 1 hour ahead | about 30 weeks |
| standard / standard | 2 hours ahead | about 22 weeks |
Nairobi stays put all year while Rome moves, so a meeting fixed in Nairobi's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Rome's end.
