Time difference between Stockholm and Mexico City
Mexico City is 8 hours behind Stockholm
Stockholm, Sweden is UTC+1 · Mexico City, Mexico is UTC−6 — 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 Stockholm goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Mexico City does not change its clocks.
| Stockholm / Mexico City clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| summer / standard | 8 hours behind | about 30 weeks |
| standard / standard | 7 hours behind | about 22 weeks |
Mexico City stays put all year while Stockholm moves, so a meeting fixed in Mexico City's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Stockholm's end.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Stockholm and nine-to-five in Mexico City do not overlap at all. With 8 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.
