AST to EAT Converter

Converting Atlantic Standard Time to East Africa Time

Atlantic Standard Time (AST) and East Africa Time (EAT) are separated by a 7 hours time difference. EAT is 7 hours ahead of AST. AST is UTC-4, used in Canada, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, while EAT is UTC+3, used in Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania.

When converting from AST to EAT, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM AST equals 4:00 PM EAT, 12:00 PM noon AST equals 7:00 PM EAT, and 5:00 PM AST equals 12:00 AM EAT. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across AST and EAT

For professionals scheduling meetings between AST and EAT, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 7 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

AST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to ADT (UTC-3) during summer months. EAT does not observe DST, staying at UTC+3 year-round. 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.
