About East Africa Time (EAT)

East Africa Time (EAT, IANA: Africa/Nairobi, Africa/Addis_Ababa) is the civil time for East African countries, set at UTC+3:00 year-round (no DST). EAT serves approximately 320 million people across: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, South Sudan, Comoros, Madagascar (mainland — UTC+3), and Mayotte (French territory — UTC+3). EAT shares the same UTC offset as Moscow Standard Time (MSK), Saudi Arabian Standard Time (AST-SA), Turkey Time (TRT), and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) — making coordination with the Middle East and Russia simple year-round. Major EAT cities: Cairo (22M metro — uses EET/CAT not EAT), Nairobi Kenya (4.4M city, 9M metro — diplomatic + UN headquarters for East Africa), Addis Ababa Ethiopia (5M city, 5.5M metro — African Union headquarters), Dar es Salaam Tanzania (5M city, 7M metro), Kampala Uganda (1.7M city, 4M metro), Mogadishu (2.6M), Khartoum (Sudan — uses CAT not EAT). Affects: Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) trading, Serengeti / Maasai Mara safari schedules, Kilimanjaro climbing-permit scheduling.

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).
