ADT to WEST conversion table

Every hour of Sunday, September 27, 2026 in Atlantic, with the matching reading in Lisbon. 4 of the 24 hours land on a different calendar date in Lisbon, which is the part people get wrong when they schedule across this pair.

Does daylight saving change ADT to WEST?

Atlantic Time is currently on ADT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-3 to UTC-4.

Western European Time is currently on WEST and changes next on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC+1 to UTC+0.

Because the two sides do not move together, the answer to this conversion changes during the year. The United States changes on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November, while the United Kingdom and European Union change on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October. Those dates are weeks apart, which opens a window each spring and autumn where the usual gap is an hour out. The table above is built for today, not for an average day.

Is ADT ahead of or behind WEST?

ADT is behind WEST by 4 hours: when it is 12:00 pm in Atlantic, it is 4:00 pm in Lisbon. One wrinkle worth knowing: AST and ADT are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Atlantic Time reads AST in winter and ADT in summer. When somebody types "ast to wet" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves AST to America/Halifax and WET to Europe/Lisbon and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.

Atlantic Time covers Halifax, Moncton and the Canadian Maritimes. Western European Time covers Lisbon, Porto and the Canary Islands, one hour behind most of the continent. The identifiers behind them are America/Halifax and Europe/Lisbon, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
