About Central Africa Time (CAT)
Central Africa Time (CAT, IANA: Africa/Johannesburg, Africa/Harare) is the civil time for Central and Southern African countries, set at UTC+2:00 year-round (no DST). CAT serves approximately 200 million people across: Botswana, Burundi, DR Congo (eastern half), Egypt (since 2014 reverting from earlier DST trial; year-round UTC+2), eSwatini (Swaziland), Lesotho, Libya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia (since 2017 reverting from earlier WAT trial; year-round UTC+2), Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan (UTC+2 since 2017), Zambia, Zimbabwe. CAT shares the same UTC offset as Eastern European Time (EET) in winter, Egypt Standard Time (EET-Egypt), and Israel Standard Time (IST). Major CAT cities: Johannesburg (5.6M city, 10M metro — economic capital of Sub-Saharan Africa), Cape Town (4.7M metro), Cairo (10M city, 22M metro — the largest city in Africa and the Middle East), Khartoum (5.3M), Lusaka (2.7M), Harare (1.6M), Tripoli (1.2M), Pretoria (740K). Affects: JSE Johannesburg Stock Exchange trading, Cairo + Alexandria Stock Exchange (EGX) trading hours, Kruger National Park safari schedules.
About Western European Time (WET)
Western European Time (WET, IANA: Europe/Lisbon, Atlantic/Faroe) is the civil time during winter for Portugal mainland (excluding the Azores), the Canary Islands (Spain), the Faroe Islands (Denmark), and Iceland uses WET-equivalent year-round (no DST in Iceland). WET is set at UTC+0 — the same offset as GMT — but the distinction is that GMT refers specifically to the time at the Greenwich Observatory while WET is the formal civil-time designation in continental Western European countries. WET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to WEST — Western European Summer Time = UTC+1) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The Azores archipelago (Portuguese Atlantic territory) is one hour behind mainland Portugal at AZOT = UTC-1:00 (winter) / AZOST = UTC+0:00 (summer). WET serves approximately 17 million people. Major cities: Lisbon (550K city, 2.9M metro), Porto (240K), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (380K), Santa Cruz de Tenerife (220K), Reykjavík (130K — Iceland on WET-equivalent), Tórshavn Faroe (13K).
