What is NZST in WET?

Western European Time is 13 hours behind

New Zealand Time is on UTC+13:00 and Western European Time is on UTC+0:00 right now. New Zealand Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read NZDT. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes

New Zealand 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 28, 2027Western European Time is 13 hours behind
  2. March 28, 2027 – April 4, 2027Western European Time is 12 hours behind
  3. April 4, 2027 – September 26, 2027Western European Time is 11 hours behind
  4. September 26, 2027 – October 31, 2027Western European Time is 12 hours behind
  5. October 31, 2027 – onwardsWestern European Time is 13 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

New Zealand Time

Sunday, April 4, 2027

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

Clocks go forward one hour — 1:00 am becomes 2:00 am local time, and the zone is on WEST after that.

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Auckland and one in Lisbon — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Auckland 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
