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 AEDT
Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) is UTC+11. It is used in Sydney and Melbourne from October to April.
Australian Eastern Daylight Time is UTC+11, the summer clock for Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra — and summer here means October to April, the opposite half of the year from the northern hemisphere. That inversion is what makes Australia–Europe scheduling awkward: for a few weeks each spring and autumn the two regions are shifting in opposite directions, and the offset between them changes twice within a month.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on AEDT switches to AEST (UTC+10) from April to October. So the 10-hour figure on this page is correct for the part of the year when both places are actually on these abbreviations, and changes by an hour outside it.
WAT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in WAT will appear to move by an hour for everyone on the other side, twice a year, without anyone changing anything.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What time is 9:00 AM WAT in AEDT?
9:00 AM WAT is 7:00 PM AEDT.
Is AEDT ahead of WAT?
AEDT is 10 hours ahead of WAT.
Which time zone does this use?
WAT is UTC+1 and AEDT is UTC+11. Both abbreviations denote a single fixed offset, so this conversion never shifts with daylight saving — what changes is which abbreviation a place is using at the time.
