How many hours apart are CAT and AKDT?
AKDT is 10 hours behind CAT. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just subtract 10 hours to get the other — so a call between Harare and Anchorage is always 10 hours apart.
What's the current time in AKDT?
Right now the time in Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 9:54:00 AM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live AKDT clock.
And what time is it in CAT?
And in Central Africa Time (CAT), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 7:54:00 PM. Compare the two and the 10 hours gap is easy to see.
What's the best time for a CAT–AKDT call?
For example, a 9:00 AM CAT meeting takes place at 11:00 PM AKDT (−1 day). The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
Does daylight saving time change the CAT–AKDT difference?
The labels CAT and AKDT are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. One side switches between standard and summer time while the other stays put, so the real-world gap can shift by an hour for part of the year. It's worth checking which label a region is actually using before you lock in a time.
How accurate is this CAT to AKDT conversion?
We don’t guess. CAT and AKDT times are worked out from the official IANA time zone database, the trusted standard that operating systems use worldwide. Because daylight-saving rules and regional offsets do change over time, we track those updates rather than relying on a fixed number — which is exactly where many converters slip up.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours behind CAT is AKDT?
AKDT is 10 hours behind CAT — a fixed 10 hours difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.
What time is it in AKDT when it's 12:00 PM CAT?
When it's 12:00 PM (noon) CAT, it's 2:00 AM AKDT.
Do CAT or AKDT use daylight saving time?
Central Africa Time (CAT) is a fixed offset with no daylight saving; Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT) observes daylight saving, alternating with AKST.
Why might the real-world CAT–AKDT difference change during the year?
The labels CAT and AKDT are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Alaska Daylight Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want CAT to AKST. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
