Time Differences from Pico Truncado

That matters when you are planning calls across New York, London, Sydney, Tokyo, or Dubai, because the same 9:00 AM start in Pico Truncado can land in very different local working hours elsewhere.

  • New York: In January, Pico Truncado (UTC-3) is 2 hours ahead of New York (UTC-5): when it is 9:00 AM in Pico Truncado, it is 7:00 AM in New York. In July, Pico Truncado (UTC-3) is 1 hour ahead of New York (UTC-4): when it is 9:00 AM in Pico Truncado, it is 8:00 AM in New York.
    This is useful for U.S. East Coast meetings, because a morning start in Argentina can still be too early for New York in January.

  • London: In January, Pico Truncado (UTC-3) is 3 hours behind London (UTC+0): when it is 9:00 AM in Pico Truncado, it is 12:00 PM in London. In July, Pico Truncado (UTC-3) is 4 hours behind London (UTC+1): when it is 9:00 AM in Pico Truncado, it is 1:00 PM in London.

  • Dubai: In January, Pico Truncado (UTC-3) is 7 hours behind Dubai (UTC+4): when it is 9:00 AM in Pico Truncado, it is 4:00 PM in Dubai. In July, Pico Truncado (UTC-3) is 7 hours behind Dubai (UTC+4): when it is 9:00 AM in Pico Truncado, it is 4:00 PM in Dubai.
