WET and MDT on the World Map
The map below highlights the WET (Western European Time) and MDT (Mountain Daylight Time) timezone regions across the globe.
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.
MDT – Mountain Daylight Time
UTC-06:00Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) is the daylight saving offset in the Mountain Time Zone, 6 hours behind UTC.
- •MDT shares the same offset as CST (UTC-06:00).
- •Arizona does not switch to MDT, remaining on MST.
WET to MDT Time Difference – Complete Guide
WET runs on Western European Time (WET) at UTC+00:00. MDT runs on Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) at UTC-06:00. That puts WET 6 hours behind MDT — a difference of -6h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in WET it is 3:00 AM in MDT. Midnight in WET is 6:00 PM in MDT. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert WET to MDT time
- Scheduling a call from WET to MDT: a 10:00 AM start in WET lands at 4:00 AM in MDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both WET and MDT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM WET time (9:00 AM–11:00 AM MDT). That is roughly 2 hours of usable overlap.
- Coordinating a WET-based team with MDT contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM WET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -6h gap is not.
- Block 3:00 PM–5:00 PM WET as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from WET and need MDT 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 MDT (Mountain Daylight Time)
Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) is observed during summer months in the Mountain Time Zone, except in Arizona which stays on MST year-round. MDT aligns with Central Standard Time (CST) at UTC-06:00.
Best time to call between WET and MDT
Both WET and MDT sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 3:00 PM–5:00 PM WET, which is 9:00 AM–11:00 AM MDT. That gives roughly 2 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
WET and MDT overlap for about 2 hours during the working day — enough for meetings if you avoid the edges of the window.
WET is 6 hours behind MDT (WET UTC+00:00 → MDT UTC-06:00). The shared working window is 3:00 PM–5:00 PM WET. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
