EAT to AKST Converter

Converting East Africa Time to Alaska Standard Time

East Africa Time (EAT) and Alaska Standard Time (AKST) are separated by a 12 hours time difference. AKST is 12 hours behind EAT. EAT is UTC+3, used in Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, while AKST is UTC-9, used in United States.

When converting from EAT to AKST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM EAT equals 9:00 PM AKST, 12:00 PM noon EAT equals 12:00 AM AKST, and 5:00 PM EAT equals 5:00 AM AKST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across EAT and AKST

For professionals scheduling meetings between EAT and AKST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 12 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

EAT does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+3 year-round. AKST observes DST, switching to AKDT (UTC-8). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
