EET vs WET: Offsets, DST and Best Call Times
EET runs on Eastern European Time (EET) at UTC+02:00. WET runs on Western European Time (WET) at UTC+00:00. That puts EET 2 hours behind WET — a difference of -2h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in EET it is 7:00 AM in WET. Midnight in EET is 10:00 PM in WET. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert EET to WET time
- Scheduling a call from EET to WET: a 10:00 AM start in EET lands at 8:00 AM in WET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both EET and WET are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM EET time (9:00 AM–3:00 PM WET). That is roughly 6 hours of usable overlap.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in EET is 6:00 PM in WET makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -2h gap is not.
- Block 11:00 AM–5:00 PM EET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from EET and need WET colleagues present.
About EET (Eastern European Time)
Eastern European Time (EET) covers a wide geographical area including Eastern Europe (Finland, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine), the Middle East (Israel, Lebanon, Jordan), and northeastern Africa (Egypt, Libya). During summer, most EET countries switch to Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+03:00). Turkey permanently moved to UTC+03:00 in 2016, effectively leaving EET.
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 EET and WET
Both EET and WET sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 11:00 AM–5:00 PM EET, which is 9:00 AM–3:00 PM WET. That gives roughly 6 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
EET and WET share 6 hours of working-hours overlap (11:00 AM–5:00 PM EET), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.
EET is 2 hours behind WET (EET UTC+02:00 → WET UTC+00:00). The shared working window is 11:00 AM–5:00 PM EET. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
