Why people convert PKT to WET time
- Scheduling a call from PKT to WET: a 10:00 AM start in PKT lands at 5:00 AM in WET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both PKT and WET are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM PKT time (9:00 AM–12:00 PM WET). That is roughly 3 hours of usable overlap.
- Coordinating a PKT-based team with WET contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PKT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -5h gap is not.
- Block 2:00 PM–5:00 PM PKT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from PKT and need WET colleagues present.
