NST and WET on the World Map
The map below highlights the NST (Newfoundland Standard Time) and WET (Western European Time) timezone regions across the globe.
NST – Newfoundland Standard Time
UTC-03:30Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) is a unique half-hour offset time zone in Canada, 3.5 hours behind UTC.
- •NST is one of only a few half-hour offset time zones in the world.
- •Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949 and kept its unique time zone.
- •St. John's is the easternmost city in North America.
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.
Everything You Need to Know About NST and WET Time
NST runs on Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) at UTC-03:30. WET runs on Western European Time (WET) at UTC+00:00. That puts NST 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of WET — a difference of +3h 30m at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in NST it is 12:30 PM in WET. Midnight in NST is 3:30 AM in WET. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert NST to WET time
- Scheduling a call from NST to WET: a 10:00 AM start in NST lands at 1:30 PM in WET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both NST and WET are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 1:30 PM NST time (12:30 PM–5:00 PM WET). That is roughly 4 hours 30 minutes of usable overlap.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking WET local time against NST keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +3h 30m offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM NST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +3h 30m gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–1:30 PM NST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from NST and need WET colleagues present.
About NST (Newfoundland Standard Time)
Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) is one of the few half-hour offset time zones in the world. It covers the island of Newfoundland in Canada and is 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic Standard Time. This unique offset exists because Newfoundland was an independent country until 1949.
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 NST and WET
Both NST and WET sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–1:30 PM NST, which is 12:30 PM–5:00 PM WET. That gives roughly 4 hours and 30 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
NST and WET overlap for about 4 hours during the working day — enough for meetings if you avoid the edges of the window.
NST is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of WET (NST UTC-03:30 → WET UTC+00:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–1:30 PM NST. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
