When the difference changes
Mountain 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 8 hours ahead
- March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027West Africa Time is 7 hours ahead
- November 7, 2027 – onwardsWest Africa Time is 8 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
Mountain Time
Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on MDT after that.
West Africa Time
West Africa Time stays on WAT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two
Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 10:00 am MST, which is 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm WAT. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.
Mountain Time (MST) is used in Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Calgary. Arizona keeps MST all year and does not follow MDT.
West Africa Time (WAT) is used in Nigeria, Algeria, Angola and Cameroon
