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.
About Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Eastern Standard Time (EST, IANA: America/New_York, America/Toronto) is the time zone for the US Eastern Seaboard and Canadian eastern provinces, set at UTC-5:00. EST is the most economically and politically significant US time zone, serving the NYC-Washington DC-Boston-Atlanta-Miami corridor of ~150 million people across the entire US Eastern region (New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida except panhandle, Ohio, Kentucky eastern, Tennessee eastern, Indiana most, Michigan most), eastern Canada (Quebec, Ontario), and the Caribbean (Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Panama since 1908). EST observes DST per Energy Policy Act 2005 (switching to EDT = UTC-4:00 from March to November). NYSE official market hours 09:30-16:00 EST/EDT, Wall Street financial reporting, US Federal Government Washington DC working hours, and US Capitol legislative sessions all reference EST/EDT. The historical 'Big Three' US TV-network prime-time was 8-11 PM EST.
