Why do the times differ between Cancún and Dubai?

Cancún, Mexico (GMT-5) is 9 hours behind Dubai, United Arab Emirates (GMT+4).

How is this conversion worked out?

Dubai runs on Asia/Dubai (GMT+4) and Cancún on America/Cancun (GMT-5), a difference of 9 hours this week. The peak hours themselves are measured in Dubai local time, and that figure never moves. What moves is the reading on your own clock, twice a year, when either place changes for daylight saving. The two places do not always change on the same date, so for a couple of weeks each spring and autumn the difference is an hour off its usual value; that is why these pages are rebuilt every week rather than computed once.

Does any platform peak on a different day in Cancún?

Facebook peaks on a different calendar day in Cancún than in Dubai, so scheduling by day name alone will miss it. Converted times use the offsets in force this week (GMT-5 and GMT+4). The audience-clock column never changes; the converted column is rebuilt weekly so it stays right across daylight-saving changes. The same times apply across Dubai's timezone, including Abu Dhabi.
