Edinburgh is 2 hours behind Johannesburg

Best overlap: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Johannesburg is 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Edinburgh.

Johannesburg and Edinburgh overlap from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Johannesburg) to the equivalent 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Edinburgh — that's your meeting window. You won't be short on options — 8 hours of overlap leaves space for recurring syncs and ad-hoc calls alike. One seasonal catch: Edinburgh springs forward and falls back, but Johannesburg doesn't, so the gap changes by an hour for several months of the year.
