About WAT
West Africa Time (WAT) is UTC+1. It is used in Nigeria, Cameroon, Angola and much of central and western Africa.
West Africa Time is UTC+1 all year, with no daylight saving anywhere that uses it. It covers Lagos, Kinshasa and Luanda — a very large population on a single fixed offset. It matches Central European Time in winter and falls an hour behind it in summer, which means a standing Europe–Nigeria meeting moves twice a year at the European end and never at the African one.
About ACDT
Australian Central Daylight Time (ACDT) is UTC+10:30. It is used in Adelaide in summer.
Australian Central Daylight Time is UTC+10:30, what South Australia keeps from October to April. Darwin stays on ACST through the summer, so for those months two cities in the same nominal zone are an hour apart — the only reason to be precise about which of the two abbreviations a meeting invitation carries.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither WAT nor ACDT shifts with the seasons, so this 9.5-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.
This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.

Is ACDT ahead of WAT?
