In the European Union and the UK, summer time runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. That affects Western European Time (WET).

Convert IST to WET Time Zone
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:
- Click the IST field on the left and pick the time you want to convert.
- The matching WET time updates on the right automatically — there’s no button to press.
- Need a different day? Click the date field and the result follows, rolling over if it crosses midnight.
IST vs WET: what's the time gap?
WET is 2 hours behind IST. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just subtract 2 hours to get the other — so a call between Jerusalem 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 · 5:54:01 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live WET clock.
And what time is it in IST?
And in Israel Standard Time (IST), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 7:54:01 PM. Compare the two and the 2 hours gap is easy to see.
Planning a meeting across IST and WET?
For example, a 9:00 AM IST 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 IST–WET difference?
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 2 hours gap usually holds steady right through the year.
How accurate is this IST to WET conversion?
We don’t guess. IST 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 IST is WET?
WET is 2 hours behind IST — a fixed 2 hours 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 10:00 AM WET.
Do IST or WET use daylight saving time?
Israel Standard Time (IST) observes daylight saving, alternating with IDT; 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 Israel Standard Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want IDT to WET. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
