WET and SGT on the World Map
The map below highlights the WET (Western European Time) and SGT (Singapore Standard Time) timezone regions across the globe.
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.
SGT – Singapore Standard Time
UTC+08:00Singapore Standard Time (SGT) is the time zone for Singapore, 8 hours ahead of UTC.
- •Singapore uses UTC+08:00 despite being at about 104°E longitude (closer to UTC+07:00).
- •Singapore does not observe daylight saving time.
- •The Singapore Exchange (SGX) operates on SGT.
Understanding the +8h Gap: WET vs SGT
WET runs on Western European Time (WET) at UTC+00:00. SGT runs on Singapore Standard Time (SGT) at UTC+08:00. That puts WET 8 hours ahead of SGT — a difference of +8h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in WET it is 5:00 PM in SGT. Midnight in WET is 8:00 AM in SGT. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert WET to SGT time
- Scheduling a call from WET to SGT: a 10:00 AM start in WET lands at 6:00 PM in SGT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +8h gap: WET and SGT have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in SGT is 5:00 PM in WET.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking SGT local time against WET keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +8h offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +8h gap is not.
- With a +8h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week WET takes the early slot, the next week SGT does.
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).
About SGT (Singapore Standard Time)
Singapore Standard Time (SGT) is used in Singapore year-round. Singapore does not observe daylight saving time. Despite being geographically close to the UTC+07:00 zone, Singapore uses UTC+08:00 to align with major trading partners like China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. Singapore is a major global financial hub.
Best time to call between WET and SGT
With a +8h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. SGT opens at 9:00 AM SGT, which is 5:00 PM in WET, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.
Business hours overlap
WET and SGT have no shared working hours because of the +8h gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.
WET is 8 hours ahead of SGT (WET UTC+00:00 → SGT UTC+08:00). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
