Time difference between Lagos and Warsaw

Warsaw is 1 hour ahead of Lagos

Lagos, Nigeria is UTC+1 · Warsaw, Poland 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 Warsaw goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.

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

About Lagos and Warsaw

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.

Poland sits at the eastern edge of Central European Time, so its clocks run further from the sun than any other country in the zone — sunrise in Warsaw in December is after 7:40 while Madrid, three time-zone-widths west, is on the same clock.
