WET vs PDT: what's the time gap?

PDT is 7 hours behind WET. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just subtract 7 hours to get the other — so a call between Lisbon and Los Angeles is always 7 hours apart.

What's the current time in PDT?

Right now the time in Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 10:53:58 AM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live PDT clock.

And what time is it in WET?

And in Western European Time (WET), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 5:53:58 PM. Compare the two and the 7 hours gap is easy to see.

What's the best time for a WET–PDT call?

For example, a 9:00 AM WET meeting takes place at 2:00 AM PDT. 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 WET–PDT difference?

The labels WET and PDT 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 7 hours gap usually holds steady right through the year.

How accurate is this WET to PDT conversion?

We don’t guess. WET and PDT 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.
