MST to WAT Converter

Converting Mountain Standard Time to West Africa Time

Mountain Standard Time (MST) and West Africa Time (WAT) are separated by a 8 hours time difference. WAT is 8 hours ahead of MST. MST is UTC-7, used in United States, Canada, while WAT is UTC+1, used in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger.

When converting from MST to WAT, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM MST equals 5:00 PM WAT, 12:00 PM noon MST equals 8:00 PM WAT, and 5:00 PM MST equals 1:00 AM WAT. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across MST and WAT

For professionals scheduling meetings between MST and WAT, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 8 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

MST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to MDT (UTC-6) during summer months. WAT does not observe DST, staying at UTC+1 year-round. 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.
