When the difference changes

Central European 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:

  1. Now – March 28, 2027West Africa Time is the same time
  2. March 28, 2027 – October 31, 2027West Africa Time is 1 hour behind
  3. October 31, 2027 – onwardsWest Africa Time is the same time

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

Central European Time

Sunday, March 28, 2027

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on CEST after that.

West Africa Time

No clock changes

West Africa Time stays on WAT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.
