When the clocks change
The gap moves when either city changes its clocks. The next twelve months:
| Dates | Austin is | Both at work (Austin time) | Easiest (Austin / Doha) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Now to March 14, 2027 | 9 hours behind | None | 8 AM / 5 PM |
| March 14, 2027 to November 7, 2027 clocks in Austin go forward | 8 hours behind | None | 8:30 AM / 4:30 PM |
| November 7, 2027 onward clocks in Austin go back | 9 hours behind | None | 8 AM / 5 PM |
Austin keeps the same clock as Chicago; Doha keeps the same clock as Istanbul.
Which days work
Doha works Sunday to Thursday and Austin works Monday to Friday, so the days both are at work are Monday to Thursday. A Friday call lands on Doha's weekend, and a Sunday one on Austin's.
