What is WET in AEST?

When the difference changes
Western European Time and Australian Eastern 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 3, 2026Australian Eastern Time is 9 hours ahead
- October 3, 2026 – October 25, 2026Australian Eastern Time is 10 hours ahead
- October 25, 2026 – March 28, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 11 hours ahead
- March 28, 2027 – April 3, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 10 hours ahead
- April 3, 2027 – October 2, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 9 hours ahead
- October 2, 2027 – onwardsAustralian Eastern Time is 10 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
Western European Time
Clocks go back one hour — 2:00 am becomes 1:00 am local time, and the zone is on WET after that.
Australian Eastern Time
Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on AEDT after that.

Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Lisbon and one in Sydney — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Lisbon is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Sydney.
Western European Time (WEST) is used in Portugal, Ireland and the Canary Islands
Australian Eastern Time (AEST) is used in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane. Queensland stays on AEST all year while the southern states move to AEDT.
