What is EET in WAT?

West Africa Time is 2 hours behind

Eastern European Time is on UTC+3:00 and West Africa Time is on UTC+1:00 right now. Eastern European Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read EEST. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes

Eastern 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:

Now – October 25, 2026West Africa Time is 2 hours behind
October 25, 2026 – March 28, 2027West Africa Time is 1 hour behind
March 28, 2027 – onwardsWest Africa Time is 2 hours behind

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

Eastern European Time

Sunday, October 25, 2026

Clocks go back one hour — 4:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on EET after that.

West Africa Time

No clock changes

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