Scheduling Tips for Your Time Zone
With 7 hours of overlap, you have excellent flexibility for scheduling with Houston. Morning meetings (9AM – 4PM Houston time) are ideal for productive collaboration.
Houston observes daylight saving time (CDT, UTC−5:00 in summer; CST, UTC−6:00 in winter). This may shift your overlap window by an hour during spring and fall transitions. Check DST dates →
