About Peru Time (PET)

Peru Time (PET, IANA: America/Lima) is the official civil time of the Republic of Peru, set at UTC-5:00 year-round. Peru abolished Daylight Saving Time long ago — a brief DST experiment in 1994 was discontinued — so PET is observed without seasonal change. PET serves approximately 34 million people across Peru's 24 departments + Constitutional Province of Callao. Major cities: Lima (10M metro — capital and the third-largest South American metro after São Paulo and Buenos Aires), Arequipa (1.1M), Trujillo (1M), Chiclayo (800K), Piura (500K), Iquitos (470K — gateway to Peruvian Amazon), Cusco (430K — gateway to Machu Picchu). PET is identical in offset to Eastern Standard Time (EST) US, Cuban Standard Time (CST-Cu), Colombia Time (COT), and Ecuador Time (ECT) — easing North-to-South-American cross-time-zone coordination during US winter months. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL) trading hours, Machu Picchu Inca Trail permit time-stamps, Cuzco-Aguas Calientes PeruRail train scheduling, and Inca Sun Festival Inti Raymi June 24 celebrations.

About West Africa Time (WAT)

West Africa Time (WAT, IANA: Africa/Lagos, Africa/Kinshasa) is the civil time for West African and Central African countries, set at UTC+1:00 year-round (no DST). WAT serves approximately 350 million people across: Algeria, Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, DR Congo (western half), Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Niger, Nigeria, São Tomé and Príncipe, Tunisia. WAT is the same offset as Central European Time (CET) in winter, easing African business coordination with Western European partners. Major WAT cities: Lagos Nigeria (15M metro — the largest city in Africa and home to one of the world's fastest-growing populations), Kinshasa DRC (17M metro), Algiers (3.7M metro), Tunis (2.4M metro), Yaoundé (2.8M), Douala (2.7M), Brazzaville (1.8M), Luanda (8M metro), N'Djamena (1.4M). The eastern half of the DRC uses Central Africa Time (CAT = UTC+2). Affects: Nollywood film-industry production in Lagos, African Union meetings, Lagos NGX (Nigerian Exchange Group) trading hours, and Lagos-São Paulo + Lagos-Buenos Aires Atlantic-shipping schedules.
