Everything you need for IST to WET — the difference, the current times, and how to plan around it.

How do I convert IST to WET?

It takes three quick steps:

  1. Click the IST field on the left and pick the time you want to convert.
  2. The matching WET time updates on the right automatically — there’s no button to press.
  3. Need a different day? Click the date field and the result follows, rolling over if it crosses midnight.

How many hours apart are IST and WET?

WET is 1 hour behind IST. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just subtract 1 hour to get the other — so a call between Dublin and Lisbon is always 1 hour apart.

What time is it in WET right now?

Right now the time in Western European Time (WET) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 5:53:59 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live WET clock.

What time is it in IST right now?

And in Irish Standard Time (IST), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 6:53:59 PM. Compare the two and the 1 hour gap is easy to see.

Planning a meeting across IST and WET?

For example, a 9:00 AM IST meeting takes place at 8:00 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.

How does daylight saving affect IST to WET?

The labels IST and WET are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Both regions move their clocks for daylight saving on roughly the same weekends, so the 1 hour gap usually holds steady right through the year.

Why can you trust this IST to WET converter?

Every conversion here is calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone, computer, and browser rely on. Plenty of tools hard-code a single offset, which quietly goes wrong whenever a region changes its rules or flips for daylight saving. We follow the real rules instead, so IST to WET stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.

Frequently asked questions

How many hours behind IST is WET?

WET is 1 hour behind IST — a fixed 1 hour difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.

What time is it in WET when it's 12:00 PM IST?

When it's 12:00 PM (noon) IST, it's 11:00 AM WET.

Do IST or WET use daylight saving time?

Irish Standard Time (IST) observes daylight saving, alternating with GMT; Western European Time (WET) observes daylight saving, alternating with WEST.

Why might the real-world IST–WET difference change during the year?

The labels IST and WET are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Irish Standard Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want GMT to WET. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
