About the Santo Domingo-Cardiff gap
Santo Domingo sits in the America/Santo_Domingo time zone (AST), while Cardiff uses Europe/London (BST). That puts Cardiff 5 hours ahead of Santo Domingo right now.
These two cities do not handle daylight saving the same way, one adjusts its clocks seasonally and the other does not. The difference between them therefore moves by an hour twice a year, which is a common cause of missed meetings. The clocks above always show the live position rather than an assumed offset.
For scheduling, the practical overlap runs from 09:00 to 12:00 in Santo Domingo. Booking inside that band means neither party is dialling in before breakfast or after dinner.
