Hours is a plural Plurals are used when there is more than one of something, and you are talking about 6 hours. If it was a single hour, then you would use the singular 'you are an hour ahead of me'.

Oh, ok. Thank you June. Have a nice day.

Because in this sentence the focus is on the singular 'time difference' not the number of hours.

Ok, but I find this sentece, so why they didn't write in plural. There is a nine hour time difference between Tokyo and London. https://engoo.com/app/daily-news/article/gaming-english-common-words-every-noob-should-know/7KsCXFfaEemxe1uQFItzwg

Six hours. Six is plural.
