When converting from CET to WET, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM CET equals 8:00 AM WET, 12:00 PM noon CET equals 11:00 AM WET, and 5:00 PM CET equals 4:00 PM WET. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across CET and WET
For professionals scheduling meetings between CET and WET, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 1 hour difference, the window of overlap may be limited. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
CET observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to CEST (UTC+2) during summer months. WET observes DST, switching to WEST (UTC+1). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
