About

Working across 0 hours of time difference

Singapore and Shanghai are close enough (0 hours) that a normal workday call poses little challenge. Most slots between 10 AM and 4 PM in either city land cleanly in the other's business hours. Pick a time that suits the agenda; both teams can attend without disruption.

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 Singapore and Shanghai can drift in late March and again in early November. Use this page to re-check your standing meeting on each transition.

FAQ

What's the best time for a meeting between Singapore and Shanghai?

Best overlap: 8:00 AM–9:00 AM Singapore time (2/2 zones in business hours). The strongest business-hour overlap is UTC 0:00–2:00, which is Singapore 8:00 AM–9:00 AM and Shanghai 8:00 AM–9:00 AM locally.

What is the time difference between Singapore and Shanghai?

Should we shift the meeting if one city changes Daylight Saving Time?

Can I schedule a daily standup that works for both Singapore and Shanghai?

Yes — the offset is only 0 hours, so any mid-morning or mid-afternoon slot in either city will fall in working hours for both. A 10am or 3pm in Singapore usually works well.
