When the difference changes

Western European Time and East Africa 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 28, 2027East Africa Time is 3 hours ahead
  2. March 28, 2027 – October 31, 2027East Africa Time is 2 hours ahead
  3. October 31, 2027 – onwardsEast Africa Time is 3 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

Sunday, March 28, 2027

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

East Africa Time

No clock changes

East Africa Time stays on EAT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

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

East Africa Time (EAT) is used in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia
