Why people convert Morocco to CAT time
- Scheduling a call from Morocco to CAT: a 10:00 AM start in Morocco lands at 11:00 AM in CAT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Morocco and CAT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM UTC+01:00 time (10:00 AM–5:00 PM CAT). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking CAT local time against Morocco keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +1h offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM UTC+01:00" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +1h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–4:00 PM UTC+01:00 as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Morocco and need CAT colleagues present.
- Morocco: Clocks fall back on Sun, Feb 7, 2027. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +1h 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 CAT (Central Africa Time)
Central Africa Time (CAT) is fixed at UTC+02:00 all year across a broad belt of southern and central Africa, including Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Rwanda, Burundi and the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. None of these countries observes daylight saving time, so CAT never shifts. It is the same offset as South Africa Standard Time (SAST) and the winter version of Central European Time, which makes CAT a convenient bridge between African, European and Middle Eastern schedules — Harare is level with Johannesburg all year and one hour ahead of Lagos.
