What is WET in UTC?

Coordinated Universal Time is the same time

Western European Time and Coordinated Universal Time are both on UTC+0:00 right now. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes

Western European Time and Coordinated Universal 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, 2027Coordinated Universal Time is the same time
  2. March 28, 2027 – October 31, 2027Coordinated Universal Time is 1 hour behind
  3. October 31, 2027 – onwardsCoordinated Universal Time is the same time

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.

Coordinated Universal Time

No clock changes

Coordinated Universal Time stays on UTC all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm WET, which is 9:00 am to 6:00 pm UTC. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

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

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is used in aviation, computing, and science worldwide. UTC never changes for daylight saving.
