WET to CST Converter

Converting Western European Time to Central Standard Time

Western European Time (WET) and Central Standard Time (CST) are separated by a 6 hours time difference. CST is 6 hours behind WET. WET is UTC+0, used in Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland, while CST is UTC-6, used in United States, Canada, Mexico.

When converting from WET to CST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM WET equals 3:00 AM CST, 12:00 PM noon WET equals 6:00 AM CST, and 5:00 PM WET equals 11:00 AM CST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across WET and CST

For professionals scheduling meetings between WET and CST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 6 hours 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

WET observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to WEST (UTC+1) during summer months. CST observes DST, switching to CDT (UTC-5). 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.
