When the clocks change
The gap moves when either city changes its clocks. The next twelve months:
| Dates | Houston is | Both at work (Houston time) | Easiest (Houston / Dhaka) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Now to March 14, 2027 | 12 hours behind | None | 6:30 AM / 6:30 PM |
| March 14, 2027 to November 7, 2027 clocks in Houston go forward | 11 hours behind | None | 7 AM / 6 PM |
| November 7, 2027 onward clocks in Houston go back | 12 hours behind | None | 6:30 AM / 6:30 PM |
Houston keeps the same clock as Chicago.
Which days work
Dhaka works Sunday to Thursday and Houston works Monday to Friday, so the days both are at work are Monday to Thursday. A Friday call lands on Dhaka's weekend, and a Sunday one on Houston's.
