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.

- •WET is identical to GMT and UTC+00:00.

WET vs WIB: Offsets, DST and Best Call Times
WET runs on Western European Time (WET) at UTC+00:00. WIB runs on Western Indonesia Time (WIB) at UTC+07:00. That puts WET 7 hours ahead of WIB — a difference of +7h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in WET it is 4:00 PM in WIB. Midnight in WET is 7:00 AM in WIB. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert WET to WIB time
- Scheduling a call from WET to WIB: a 10:00 AM start in WET lands at 5:00 PM in WIB, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both WET and WIB are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM WET time (4:00 PM–5:00 PM WIB). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in WET is 3:00 AM in WIB 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 +7h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–10:00 AM WET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from WET and need WIB 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 WIB (Western Indonesia Time)
Western Indonesia Time (WIB, Waktu Indonesia Barat) is one of Indonesia's three time zones, fixed at UTC+07:00 all year. It covers Java, Sumatra, West Kalimantan and the provinces around them — home to Jakarta, the country's capital and largest city, plus Surabaya and Bandung. Indonesia does not observe daylight saving time, so WIB never shifts. WIB shares its UTC+07:00 offset with Indochina Time (ICT) and Christmas Island Time, but is a distinct zone covering the western half of the Indonesian archipelago. The country's other zones are WITA (UTC+08:00) in the centre and WIT (UTC+09:00) in the east.
Best time to call between WET and WIB
Both WET and WIB sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–10:00 AM WET, which is 4:00 PM–5:00 PM WIB. That gives roughly 1 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
WET and WIB overlap for only 60 minutes (9:00 AM–10:00 AM WET), so meetings have to be booked precisely.
WET is 7 hours ahead of WIB (WET UTC+00:00 → WIB UTC+07:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–10:00 AM WET. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
