Why Port Louis and Suva keep a fixed gap all year
Nothing moves here. Port Louis keeps GMT+4 and Suva keeps GMT+12 the whole year round, because neither jurisdiction changes its clocks — the arrangement most of the world's population lives under, since daylight saving has been abandoned or never adopted across much of Asia, Africa and the Americas outside the United States and Canada, and near the equator there is little daylight to shift in the first place. So the two are 8 hours apart in January and in July alike, and choosing a date on this page changes the arithmetic, not the answer.
The clock changes, and who decides them
Port Louis uses the zone Indian/Mauritius, which does not change its clocks. Suva uses the zone Pacific/Fiji, which does not change its clocks. Neither figure is a physical fact: an offset is legislation, and the same fifteen degrees of longitude can sit under three zones because a border runs through it. That is why this page reads its offsets out of the time-zone database built into your own browser instead of hardcoding a table of abbreviations — it is the database your operating system already keeps current, and it is what puts Port Louis and Suva in the right relation even when a government moves a date at short notice. A device whose database predates the last change gets the old answer, which is the one caveat worth knowing.
What it is actually like to work across the two
There is no hour that falls inside 09:00–17:00 on both sides — none — there is no hour that is inside 09:00–17:00 in both — so any call is somebody’s out-of-hours and the honest thing is to rotate it. The two clock rules here are not unique to these two places: 6 other cities in our dataset keep the same clock as one of them, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Baku, Tbilisi, so looking any of those up against the city on the other side of the pair gives this page’s answers. The arithmetic is the three lines the page runs in front of you: read each zone’s offset for the date you picked, subtract, and let the modulo handle the dateline.
