Does Burkina Faso observe daylight saving time?
No — Burkina Faso does not observe daylight saving time. Its clocks stay on UTC+0 every day of the year, so its offset from UTC never moves. The difference between Burkina Faso and another city therefore changes only when that other city starts or ends its own daylight saving period.

For example, 09:00 in Burkina Faso is 09:00 UTC. The converter above does this automatically after detecting your device's time zone, and the World Clock meeting planner lays several cities out on one colour-coded 24-hour grid.
