Your team's working day, on Medellín's clock
Today (1 November 2026). Each bar is 24 hours of local time in Medellín; the shaded column is a local 9–5.
Colombia does not change its clocks, so every shift in shared hours comes from your employer's side.
Shared hours through the year
Hours of a 9–5 in both places that coincide, lowest–highest across each month's working days. "Awake" stretches your day to 7:00–22:00.
