Africa/Nairobi · UTC+3
Kenya runs on East Africa Time (EAT), a fixed UTC+3 offset. Clocks are never moved for daylight saving here, so the gap to UTC is identical in January and July. Sitting on the equator, Nairobi's daylight barely varies through the year, so a seasonal clock change would gain nothing. The same zone covers Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and Somalia. The clock above reads the Africa/Nairobi zone directly and is accurate to the second.

Common questions
- What time is it in Kenya right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Kenya, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because Kenya is always UTC+3, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in Kenya?
- UTC+3, all year: East Africa Time, abbreviated EAT. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does Kenya observe daylight saving time?
- No. Kenya stays on East Africa Time (UTC+3) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for Kenya?
- Africa/Nairobi. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Kenya rather than one fixed number.
