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