When the difference changes
West Africa Time and Pacific 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, 2027Pacific Time is 9 hours behind
- March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Pacific Time is 8 hours behind
- November 7, 2027 – onwardsPacific Time is 9 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
West Africa Time
West Africa Time stays on WAT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.
Pacific Time
Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on PDT after that.

Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Lagos and one in Los Angeles — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Lagos is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Los Angeles.
West Africa Time (WAT) is used in Nigeria, Algeria, Angola and Cameroon
Pacific Time (PST) is used in San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Vancouver
