HST to WET Converter

Converting Hawaii Standard Time to Western European Time

Hawaii Standard Time (HST) and Western European Time (WET) are separated by a 10 hours time difference. WET is 10 hours ahead of HST. HST is UTC-10, used in United States, while WET is UTC+0, used in Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland.

When converting from HST to WET, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM HST equals 7:00 PM WET, 12:00 PM noon HST equals 10:00 PM WET, and 5:00 PM HST equals 3:00 AM WET. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across HST and WET

For professionals scheduling meetings between HST 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 10 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

HST does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC-10 year-round. 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.
