When the difference changes

Alaska Time and Western European 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:

  1. Now – March 14, 2027Western European Time is 9 hours ahead
  2. March 14, 2027 – March 27, 2027Western European Time is 8 hours ahead
  3. March 27, 2027 – October 30, 2027Western European Time is 9 hours ahead
  4. October 30, 2027 – November 7, 2027Western European Time is 8 hours ahead
  5. November 7, 2027 – onwardsWestern European Time is 9 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.

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Anchorage and one in Lisbon — 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 Lisbon.

Western European Time (WET) is used in Portugal, Ireland and the Canary Islands
