What is WET in BRT?

Brasília Time is 4 hours behind

Western European Time is on UTC+1:00 and Brasília Time is on UTC−3:00 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

Western European Time and Brasília 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 – October 25, 2026Brasília Time is 4 hours behind
  2. October 25, 2026 – March 28, 2027Brasília Time is 3 hours behind
  3. March 28, 2027 – onwardsBrasília Time is 4 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

Western European Time

Sunday, October 25, 2026

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

Brasília Time

No clock changes

Brasília Time stays on BRT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.
