A quick guide to CAT → WET: the time gap, the live clocks, scheduling tips, and how we keep it accurate.
How do I convert CAT to WET?

What is the time difference between CAT and WET?
WET is 2 hours behind CAT. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just subtract 2 hours to get the other — so a call between Harare and Lisbon is always 2 hours apart.
What's the current time in WET?
Right now the time in Western European Time (WET) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 5:54:00 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live WET clock.
And what time is it in CAT?
And in Central Africa Time (CAT), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 7:54:00 PM. Compare the two and the 2 hours gap is easy to see.
What's the best time for a CAT–WET call?
For example, a 9:00 AM CAT meeting takes place at 7:00 AM WET. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
Does daylight saving time change the CAT–WET difference?
The labels CAT and WET are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. One side switches between standard and summer time while the other stays put, so the real-world gap can shift by an hour for part of the year. It's worth checking which label a region is actually using before you lock in a time.
How accurate is this CAT to WET conversion?
We don’t guess. CAT and WET times are worked out from the official IANA time zone database, the trusted standard that operating systems use worldwide. Because daylight-saving rules and regional offsets do change over time, we track those updates rather than relying on a fixed number — which is exactly where many converters slip up.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours behind CAT is WET?
WET is 2 hours behind CAT — a fixed 2 hours difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.
What time is it in WET when it's 12:00 PM CAT?
When it's 12:00 PM (noon) CAT, it's 10:00 AM WET.
Do CAT or WET use daylight saving time?
Central Africa Time (CAT) is a fixed offset with no daylight saving; Western European Time (WET) observes daylight saving, alternating with WEST.
Why might the real-world CAT–WET difference change during the year?
The labels CAT and WET are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Western European Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want CAT to WEST. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
