Lagos to New York: Time Difference & Best Time to Meet
Your window to reach both cities is 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Lagos, which converts to 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in New York. New York is 5 hours behind Lagos, leaving about 5 hours of shared hours — plan recurring calls early in that window to leave buffer. A quick caveat — New York's clocks move for daylight saving and Lagos's don't, so the times here are right for only part of the year.
