Your team's working day, on Riga's clock
Today (1 November 2026). Each bar is 24 hours of local time in Riga; the shaded column is a local 9–5.
Clock changes ahead in Riga: 28 Mar 2027 → UTC+3; 31 Oct 2027 → UTC+2. Employers' clocks change on their own dates, which is why shared hours shift for a few weeks each spring and autumn.
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.
