Best time to schedule a call or meeting

A note on daylight saving
New York observes daylight saving but Lima does not, so the gap between them changes by an hour for part of the year. The 1 hour shown here is the current offset; expect it to shift around the daylight-saving changeovers (typically late March and late October in the Northern Hemisphere).
