Close on the map, seasonal on the clock
A Tokyo morning can fit a Sydney morning or early afternoon, depending on the season. Sydney changes clocks while Tokyo does not. For a recurring call, check both January and July examples and leave enough margin before the end of the Sydney workday.

Daylight-saving rules depend on the city and date. When a local hour is missing or repeated, the converter rejects it or asks which occurrence you mean. Rules can change politically; reconfirm far-future meetings.
