WET vs CET: Offsets, DST and Best Call Times

WET runs on Western European Time (WET) at UTC+00:00. CET runs on Central European Time (CET) at UTC+01:00. That puts WET 1 hour ahead of CET — a difference of +1h at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in WET it is 10:00 AM in CET. Midnight in WET is 1:00 AM in CET. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert WET to CET time

  • Scheduling a call from WET to CET: a 10:00 AM start in WET lands at 11:00 AM in CET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
  • Finding shared working hours: both WET and CET are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM WET time (10:00 AM–5:00 PM CET). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
  • Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in WET is 9:00 PM in CET makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
  • Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +1h gap is not.
  • Block 9:00 AM–4:00 PM WET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from WET and need CET colleagues present.

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 CET (Central European Time)

Central European Time (CET) is the standard time zone for most of Europe, covering over 30 countries from Spain to Poland, and from Norway to Italy. CET is 1 hour ahead of GMT and is used by the European Union's most populous nations. During summer, most CET countries switch to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+02:00). Major European financial markets in Frankfurt, Paris, and Amsterdam operate on CET.

Best time to call between WET and CET

Both WET and CET sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–4:00 PM WET, which is 10:00 AM–5:00 PM CET. That gives roughly 7 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

WET and CET share 7 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–4:00 PM WET), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.

WET is 1 hour ahead of CET (WET UTC+00:00 → CET UTC+01:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–4:00 PM WET. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
