WET to BST Converter
Convert Western European Time (WET) to British Summer Time (BST) in one step. Because bST is 1 hour ahead of WET, the math is a fixed 1 hour shift. Adjust the time or date and watch it update.
Daylight saving notes
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).

For example, a 9:00 AM WET meeting takes place at 10:00 AM BST. Concretely, when Lisbon (WET) and London (BST) set up a call, bST is 1 hour ahead of WET.

Convert WET to BST Time Zone
Below are the answers people search for most when converting Western European Time (WET) to British Summer Time (BST).
How do I convert WET to BST?
It takes three quick steps:
- Click the WET field on the left and pick the time you want to convert.
- The matching BST 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.
How many hours apart are WET and BST?
BST is 1 hour ahead of WET. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 1 hour to get the other — so a call between Lisbon and London is always 1 hour apart.
What time is it in BST right now?
Right now the time in British Summer Time (BST) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 6:53:58 PM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live BST clock.
What time is it in WET right now?
And in Western European Time (WET), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 5:53:58 PM. Compare the two and the 1 hour gap is easy to see.
Planning a meeting across WET and BST?
For example, a 9:00 AM WET meeting takes place at 10:00 AM BST. 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 WET to BST?
The labels WET and BST 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 WET to BST 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 WET to BST stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours ahead of WET is BST?
BST is 1 hour ahead of WET — a fixed 1 hour difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.
What time is it in BST when it's 12:00 PM WET?
When it's 12:00 PM (noon) WET, it's 1:00 PM BST.
Do WET or BST use daylight saving time?
Western European Time (WET) observes daylight saving, alternating with WEST; British Summer Time (BST) observes daylight saving, alternating with GMT.
Why might the real-world WET–BST difference change during the year?
The labels WET and BST 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 WEST to BST. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
