When the difference changes
Alaska Time and West Africa Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:
- Now – March 14, 2027West Africa Time is 10 hours ahead
- March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027West Africa Time is 9 hours ahead
- November 7, 2027 – onwardsWest Africa Time is 10 hours ahead
Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.
Daylight saving
Alaska Time
Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on AKDT after that.
West Africa Time
West Africa Time stays on WAT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Anchorage and one in Lagos — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Anchorage is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Lagos.
West Africa Time (WAT) is used in Nigeria, Algeria, Angola and Cameroon
