Why people convert Lisbon to Dhaka time
- Scheduling a call from Lisbon to Dhaka: a 10:00 AM start in Lisbon lands at 3:00 PM in Dhaka, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Lisbon and Dhaka are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM WEST time (2:00 PM–5:00 PM BDST). That is roughly 3 hours of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: Lisbon viewers need 2:00 PM in Dhaka to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 7:00 PM if the event is anchored to Lisbon.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +5h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–12:00 PM WEST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Lisbon and need Dhaka colleagues present.
- Lisbon: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +5h gap.
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 BDST (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Bangladesh Standard Time (BDST) is the single time zone used across Bangladesh, fixed at UTC+06:00 all year. Bangladesh has not observed daylight saving time since a short-lived experiment in 2009, so the gap between Bangladesh and every other zone is constant. Dhaka, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Because the country sits close to the middle of the UTC+06:00 band, solar noon is near 12:00 for most of the year. BDST is listed separately from British Summer Time, which shares the BST abbreviation but is UTC+01:00.
