Time difference between Warsaw and Lagos

Lagos is 1 hour behind Warsaw

Warsaw, Poland 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 Warsaw 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 Warsaw moves, so a meeting fixed in Lagos's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Warsaw's end.

About Warsaw and Lagos

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.

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.
