Converting West Africa Time to Western European Time

West Africa Time (WAT) and Western European Time (WET) are separated by a 1 hour time difference. WET is 1 hour behind WAT. WAT is UTC+1, used in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, while WET is UTC+0, used in Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland.

When converting from WAT to WET, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM WAT equals 8:00 AM WET, 12:00 PM noon WAT equals 11:00 AM WET, and 5:00 PM WAT equals 4:00 PM WET. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across WAT and WET

For professionals scheduling meetings between WAT 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 1 hour 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

WAT does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+1 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.
