Why people convert Lagos to AEDT time
- Scheduling a call from Lagos to AEDT: a 10:00 AM start in Lagos lands at 8:00 PM in AEDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +10h gap: Lagos and AEDT 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 AEDT is 7:00 PM in Lagos.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Lagos is 6:00 AM in AEDT makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WAT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +10h gap is not.
- With a +10h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Lagos takes the early slot, the next week AEDT does.
About WAT (West Africa Time)
West Africa Time (WAT) is used across much of West and Central Africa, including Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa. WAT does not observe daylight saving time and shares the same offset as Central European Time (CET).
About AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time)
Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) is the daylight saving period in south-eastern Australia, one hour ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10:00). Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, AEDT runs through the summer — from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April — which is almost exactly the reverse of the European and North American schedules. New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory observe it; Queensland and the Northern Territory do not, so Brisbane stays on AEST year round while Sydney moves to AEDT. During AEDT, Sydney is 11 hours ahead of UTC and 16 hours ahead of New York.
Best time to call between Lagos and AEDT
