When the difference changes

Western European Time and Alaska 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 14, 2027Alaska Time is 9 hours behind
  2. March 14, 2027 – March 28, 2027Alaska Time is 8 hours behind
  3. March 28, 2027 – October 31, 2027Alaska Time is 9 hours behind
  4. October 31, 2027 – November 7, 2027Alaska Time is 8 hours behind
  5. November 7, 2027 – onwardsAlaska 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.

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Lisbon and one in Anchorage — 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 Anchorage.

Western European Time (WET) is used in Portugal, Ireland and the Canary Islands
