Why people convert WET to ART time
- Scheduling a call from WET to ART: a 10:00 AM start in WET lands at 7:00 AM in ART, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both WET and ART are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM WET time (9:00 AM–2:00 PM ART). That is roughly 5 hours of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: WET viewers need 6:00 AM in ART to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 3:00 AM if the event is anchored to WET.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -3h gap is not.
- Block 12:00 PM–5:00 PM WET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from WET and need ART colleagues present.
