About EAT to GMT Conversion

Converting time between EAT and GMT requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. EAT (EAT) operates at UTC+3, while GMT (GMT) is set to UTC+0. This means GMT is 3 hours behind EAT. For example, when it's 6:20 AM EAT on February 4, 2026, it's 3:20 AM GMT in GMT. Europe/London observes daylight saving time, switching between GMT (UTC+0) and BST (UTC+1), while Africa/Nairobi does not observe daylight saving time. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in GMT for any time in EAT, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
