Time difference between Helsinki and Lagos

Lagos is 2 hours behind Helsinki. Put the other way round: Helsinki is 2 hours ahead of Lagos.

Helsinki is UTC+3 in summer and UTC+2 in winter; Lagos is UTC+1 and UTC+1.

When you can both be at your desks

Working 09:00 to 17:00 in both cities leaves 6 hours in common: 11:00 to 17:00 in Helsinki, which is 09:00 to 15:00 in Lagos. Those are the hours to aim a call at.

Daylight saving

Helsinki changes its clocks for summer and Lagos does not, so there is no single answer: the gap is 2 hours for the northern summer and 1 hour for the rest of the year.

Plan a meeting across more than two cities

This page covers one pair. TimeGap takes a list: add every city you care about, drag one marker, and every row reads the same instant on its own clock. It marks the hours you would actually take a call, finds the window where the most people are reachable, flags public holidays, and puts the time you pick straight into Outlook or Google Calendar.
