EDT and WET on the World Map
The map below highlights the EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) and WET (Western European Time) timezone regions across the globe.
EDT – Eastern Daylight Time
UTC-04:00Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is the daylight saving time observed in the Eastern Time Zone, 4 hours behind UTC.
- •EDT is observed from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November.
- •During EDT, the US East Coast is only 4 hours behind London (instead of 5).
- •Not all EST locations switch to EDT – Panama and Jamaica stay on EST year-round.
WET – Western European Time
UTC+00:00Western European Time (WET) is the time zone for Portugal, Morocco, and the Canary Islands, same as UTC+00:00.
- •Portugal is the only mainland European country in the WET time zone.
- •The Canary Islands are on WET despite being part of Spain (which uses CET).
- •WET is identical to GMT and UTC+00:00.
EDT to WET Time Difference – Complete Guide
EDT runs on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) at UTC-04:00. WET runs on Western European Time (WET) at UTC+00:00. That puts EDT 4 hours ahead of WET — a difference of +4h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in EDT it is 1:00 PM in WET. Midnight in EDT is 4:00 AM in WET. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert EDT to WET time
- Scheduling a call from EDT to WET: a 10:00 AM start in EDT lands at 2:00 PM in WET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both EDT and WET are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM EDT time (1:00 PM–5:00 PM WET). That is roughly 4 hours of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: EDT viewers need 1:00 PM in WET to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 8:00 PM if the event is anchored to EDT.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +4h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–1:00 PM EDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from EDT and need WET colleagues present.
About EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is used during the summer months (second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November) in the Eastern Time Zone. During EDT, clocks are advanced by one hour to take advantage of longer daylight hours. Not all locations in the Eastern Time Zone observe DST – Panama, Jamaica, and most of the Caribbean remain on EST year-round.
About WET (Western European Time)
Western European Time (WET) is used in Portugal, the Canary Islands (Spain), Morocco, and several other locations. It is equivalent to GMT/UTC. During summer, Portugal and the Canary Islands switch to WEST (Western European Summer Time, UTC+01:00).
Best time to call between EDT and WET
Both EDT and WET sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–1:00 PM EDT, which is 1:00 PM–5:00 PM WET. That gives roughly 4 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
EDT and WET overlap for about 4 hours during the working day — enough for meetings if you avoid the edges of the window.
EDT is 4 hours ahead of WET (EDT UTC-04:00 → WET UTC+00:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–1:00 PM EDT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
