About time in Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa keeps East Africa Time, UTC+3 from UTC all year. The offset never changes, so any difference between you and Addis Ababa moves only when your own clocks do.

Addis Ababa shares the zone Africa/Addis_Ababa with Dire Dawa, Mek'ele, Nazrēt, Bahir Dar, so a time here is also the time there. One canonical page per zone keeps the difference honest: the settlement name changes, the clock does not.

Offsets and daylight saving rules come from the IANA time zone database — see IANA time zone notes for what that data does and does not promise about future dates.
