What the data shows

• Over the next 12 months the gap is 2 hours for 330 days, 1 hour for 35 days, because the two places change their clocks on different dates.

  How we calculated this: Days per distinct difference across the period.

• For two short spells (28 Mar–29 Apr 2027 and 28–31 Oct 2027) the difference is 1 hour instead of the usual 2 hours, because the two places change their clocks on different weekends. Re-check meeting and call times then.

  How we calculated this: Intervals shorter than six weeks whose difference is not the typical one (UTC dates of the clock changes that start and end them).

• At the usual difference, 09:00–17:00 working days overlap for 6 hours: 09:00–15:00 in London, 11:00–17:00 in Cairo.

  How we calculated this: Intersection of 09:00–17:00 local in both places at the typical difference.
