Scheduling Across SAST and WET

For professionals scheduling meetings between SAST and WET, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 2 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

SAST does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+2 year-round. WET observes DST, switching to WEST (UTC+1). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
