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.

Understanding the -7h Gap: ICT vs WET
ICT runs on Indochina Time (ICT) at UTC+07:00. WET runs on Western European Time (WET) at UTC+00:00. That puts ICT 7 hours behind WET — a difference of -7h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in ICT it is 2:00 AM in WET. Midnight in ICT is 5:00 PM in WET. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert ICT to WET time
- Scheduling a call from ICT to WET: a 10:00 AM start in ICT lands at 3:00 AM in WET, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both ICT and WET are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM ICT time (9:00 AM–10:00 AM WET). That is roughly 1 hours of usable overlap.
- Watching a live event or market open: ICT viewers need 2:00 AM in WET to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 7:00 AM if the event is anchored to ICT.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM ICT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -7h gap is not.
- Block 4:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from ICT and need WET colleagues present.

About WET (Western European Time)

Best time to call between ICT and WET
Both ICT and WET sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 4:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT, which is 9:00 AM–10:00 AM WET. That gives roughly 1 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
ICT and WET overlap for only 60 minutes (4:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT), so meetings have to be booked precisely.
ICT is 7 hours behind WET (ICT UTC+07:00 → WET UTC+00:00). The shared working window is 4:00 PM–5:00 PM ICT. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
