What's the time difference between Windhoek and Suva?
Windhoek is 10 hours ahead of Suva. Windhoek runs on GMT+2 and Suva on GMT+12. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.

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.
