WET to HKT Converter

Converting Western European Time to Hong Kong Time

Western European Time (WET) and Hong Kong Time (HKT) are separated by a 8 hours time difference. HKT is 8 hours ahead of WET. WET is UTC+0, used in Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland, while HKT is UTC+8, used in Hong Kong, China.

When converting from WET to HKT, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM WET equals 5:00 PM HKT, 12:00 PM noon WET equals 8:00 PM HKT, and 5:00 PM WET equals 1:00 AM HKT. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across WET and HKT

For professionals scheduling meetings between WET and HKT, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 8 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

WET observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to WEST (UTC+1) during summer months. HKT does not observe DST, staying at UTC+8 year-round. 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.
