About Venezuela Time (VET)
Venezuela Time (VET, IANA: America/Caracas) is the official civil time of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, set at UTC-4:00 year-round. Venezuela abolished Daylight Saving Time long ago and the country has had a complicated time-zone history — in 2007 President Hugo Chávez moved Venezuela from UTC-4:00 to UTC-4:30 (a 30-minute offset, citing benefits to schoolchildren's morning light), then in 2016 President Nicolás Maduro reverted the country back to UTC-4:00 (citing energy crisis and need to better coordinate with regional neighbors). VET serves approximately 28 million people across Venezuela's 23 states + Federal District + Federal Dependencies. Major cities: Caracas (3M city, 5M metro — capital), Maracaibo (2.3M), Valencia (1.4M), Barquisimeto (1.1M), Ciudad Guayana (900K). VET is the same offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST), making coordination with Puerto Rico, USVI, Bermuda, and Canadian Maritime provinces in winter relatively straightforward. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Caracas (BVC) operations, PDVSA petroleum-export shipping schedules, and Angel Falls tourism in Canaima National Park.
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).
