Lagos is 10 hours behind Sydney right now.
Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. Sydney changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Lagos doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:
- From around April 3, 2027: Lagos behind by 9 hours
- From around October 2, 2027: Lagos behind by 10 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Lagos and Sydney don't overlap. The most workable window is 5 PM to 10 PM in Sydney, which is 7 AM to 12 PM in Lagos, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
