The DST gap
When daylight saving changes don't line up, the gap between New York and Sydney shifts.
Right now the gap is unusual: 15h instead of 14h or 16h.
Sydney is 15 hours ahead of New York until Nov 1, when New York clocks go back 1 hour. A recurring meeting set in one city's time lands at a different local time in the other until then.
Next change in 11 days (Nov 1, 2026): New York clocks go back 1 hour, and the gap goes from 15h to 16h.
