Kampala×Mexico City
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Kampala uses the UGX (Sh) and Mexico City uses the MXN ($). Language shifts too — English in Kampala, Spanish in Mexico City. Be careful behind the wheel: Kampala drives on the left, Mexico City on the right.

What's the time difference between Kampala and Mexico City?
Kampala is 9 hours behind Mexico City. Kampala runs on GMT+3 and Mexico City on GMT-6. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
Standard 09:00–17:00 workdays don't intersect. Most teams compromise with one side meeting early (before 09:00) or late (after 17:00).
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
