Time difference between Lagos and Berlin

Berlin is 1 hour ahead of Lagos

Lagos, Nigeria is UTC+1 · Berlin, Germany is UTC+1 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Lagos does not change its clocks and Berlin goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.

Lagos stays put all year while Berlin moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Berlin's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Lagos's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.

About Lagos and Berlin

Nigeria is UTC+1 with no daylight saving. It matches Central European Time in winter and falls an hour behind in summer, so a standing Lagos–Berlin meeting moves twice a year entirely at the European end.

Berlin runs Central European Time, the offset shared by most of the continent from Spain to Poland. That single zone spans nearly 40 degrees of longitude, so noon by the clock and noon by the sun are three hours apart between its ends.
