About This Time Conversion

This page converts the local time between San Jose, Costa Rica (timezone America/Costa_Rica, currently --6, GMT-6) and Tarawa, KI (timezone Pacific/Tarawa, currently ++12, GMT+12). TZSync uses the IANA timezone database so conversions always account for Daylight Saving Time, half-hour offsets such as India (UTC+5:30), and quarter-hour offsets such as Nepal (UTC+5:45).

When it is daytime in San Jose, the clock in Tarawa reads a different hour, and possibly a different calendar day. Drag the time slider on this page to find an overlap where both cities are inside typical working hours (9 AM – 5 PM local time) — that overlap is your best window for meetings, calls, and collaboration between San Jose and Tarawa.
