What is UTC in WET?
Western European Time is 1 hour ahead
Coordinated Universal Time is on UTC+0:00 and Western European Time is on UTC+1:00 right now. Western European Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read WEST. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes
Coordinated Universal 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:
- Now – October 25, 2026Western European Time is 1 hour ahead
- October 25, 2026 – March 28, 2027Western European Time is the same time
- March 28, 2027 – onwardsWestern European Time is 1 hour ahead
Periods shorter than a day are not listed: both zones change at 2am in their own local time, so there are a few hours on each transition date when the gap is briefly something else.
Daylight saving
Coordinated Universal Time
Coordinated Universal Time stays on UTC all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two
Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm UTC, which is 10:00 am to 6:00 pm WEST. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used in aviation, computing, and science worldwide. UTC never changes for daylight saving.
Western European Time (WEST) is used in Portugal, Ireland and the Canary Islands
