WET to KST Converter

Converting Western European Time to Korea Standard Time

Western European Time (WET) and Korea Standard Time (KST) are separated by a 9 hours time difference. KST is 9 hours ahead of WET. WET is UTC+0, used in Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland, while KST is UTC+9, used in South Korea.

When converting from WET to KST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM WET equals 6:00 PM KST, 12:00 PM noon WET equals 9:00 PM KST, and 5:00 PM WET equals 2:00 AM KST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across WET and KST

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

WET observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to WEST (UTC+1) during summer months. KST does not observe DST, staying at UTC+9 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.
