About Colombia Time (COT)

Colombia Time (COT, IANA: America/Bogota) is the official civil time of the Republic of Colombia, set at UTC-5:00 year-round. Colombia abolished Daylight Saving Time in 1993 after a brief experimental DST period (1992-1993), so COT is observed without seasonal change since then. COT serves approximately 52 million people across Colombia's 32 departments + Bogotá Capital District. Major cities: Bogotá (8M city, 11M metro — capital), Medellín (2.5M city, 4M metro), Cali (2.3M), Barranquilla (1.3M), Cartagena (1M), Cúcuta (700K), Bucaramanga (600K). COT is identical in offset to Eastern Standard Time (EST) US, Cuban Standard Time (CST-Cu), Peru Time (PET), and Ecuador Time (ECT). The San Andrés and Providencia archipelago in the Caribbean Sea (closer to Nicaragua than to mainland Colombia) also observes COT. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC) trading hours, Ecopetrol oil-pipeline operations, Café de Colombia harvest-season coordination, and Cartagena de Indias cruise-ship port arrivals scheduling.

About East Africa Time (EAT)

East Africa Time (EAT, IANA: Africa/Nairobi, Africa/Addis_Ababa) is the civil time for East African countries, set at UTC+3:00 year-round (no DST). EAT serves approximately 320 million people across: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, South Sudan, Comoros, Madagascar (mainland — UTC+3), and Mayotte (French territory — UTC+3). EAT shares the same UTC offset as Moscow Standard Time (MSK), Saudi Arabian Standard Time (AST-SA), Turkey Time (TRT), and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) — making coordination with the Middle East and Russia simple year-round. Major EAT cities: Cairo (22M metro — uses EET/CAT not EAT), Nairobi Kenya (4.4M city, 9M metro — diplomatic + UN headquarters for East Africa), Addis Ababa Ethiopia (5M city, 5.5M metro — African Union headquarters), Dar es Salaam Tanzania (5M city, 7M metro), Kampala Uganda (1.7M city, 4M metro), Mogadishu (2.6M), Khartoum (Sudan — uses CAT not EAT). Affects: Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) trading, Serengeti / Maasai Mara safari schedules, Kilimanjaro climbing-permit scheduling.
