What is WET in NZST?

New Zealand Time is 11 hours ahead

Western European Time is on UTC+1:00 and New Zealand Time is on UTC+12:00 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 New Zealand 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 – September 26, 2026New Zealand Time is 11 hours ahead
  2. September 26, 2026 – October 25, 2026New Zealand Time is 12 hours ahead
  3. October 25, 2026 – March 28, 2027New Zealand Time is 13 hours ahead
  4. March 28, 2027 – April 3, 2027New Zealand Time is 12 hours ahead
  5. April 3, 2027 – September 25, 2027New Zealand Time is 11 hours ahead
  6. September 25, 2027 – onwardsNew Zealand Time is 12 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, 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.

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on NZDT after that.

Scheduling between the two

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

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