About
Working across 4 hours of time difference
A 4 hours offset puts Buenos Aires and Los Angeles in the medium-difficulty band. You typically have a 2–4 hour window each day where both cities are at work — usually early afternoon in the western city, late morning or early afternoon in the eastern one. Keep recurring meetings inside that window.
Daylight Saving Time can shift the gap by an hour twice a year. The North American DST window does not align with the European one, so the offset between Buenos Aires and Los Angeles can drift in late March and again in early November. Use this page to re-check your standing meeting on each transition.
