Time difference between Stockholm and Lagos

Lagos is 1 hour behind Stockholm

Stockholm, Sweden is UTC+1 · Lagos, Nigeria 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 Stockholm goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Lagos does not change its clocks.

Lagos stays put all year while Stockholm moves, so a meeting fixed in Lagos's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Stockholm's end.

About Stockholm and Lagos

Sweden is on Central European Time and far enough north that the offset is the least of the scheduling problem: midsummer daylight runs past midnight in the north of the country and December sun barely clears the horizon.

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.
