Western European Summer Time

Western European Summer Time is one hour ahead of the Coordinated Universal Time standard, written as an offset of UTC + 1:00. That means to find the standard time in the zone you must add one hour to Coordinated Universal Time.

Territories observing the time zone are primarily in Europe and Africa.

Depending on where the time zone is being referenced, it may be called one of these additional names:

Western European Daylight Time or WEDT

Westeuropäische Sommerzeit or WESZ (in German)

In many of the areas where this time zone is used, during fall to winter months Western European Time (WET) is observed, and then during Daylight Saving (spring to summer months) Western European Summer Time or WEST is used.
