About Durban
It's UTC+2 in Durban year-round, no daylight saving. From New York you're currently 6 hours behind; noon ET lands at 6:00 PM in Durban. The gap widens to 7 hours each November after New York falls back, then snaps back to 6 hours in March. Reaching a Durban office (typically open until 5 PM SAST) means a New York caller has roughly until 11 AM ET to catch them mid-afternoon. Most South-African meetings work best scheduled before lunch on the East Coast.
