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.

About Eastern European Summer Time (EEST)

Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, IANA: Europe/Athens during DST window) is the summer-time variant of EET, set at UTC+3:00 — observed from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. EEST shares the same UTC offset as Moscow Standard Time (MSK), Saudi Arabia Standard Time (AST-SA), and East Africa Time (EAT). After the 2018 EU proposal to abolish twice-yearly clock changes (postponed indefinitely), the question of whether EEST countries would permanently stay on summer time (UTC+3) or revert to year-round EET (UTC+2) remains unresolved. EEST serves the same ~50 million population as EET (Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland). Affects: ASE (Athens Stock Exchange) summer trading hours, summer-festival schedules in Greek islands (Mykonos, Santorini, Ios), Finnish midsummer Juhannus celebrations, and Black Sea cruise-ship port arrival times at Constanța Romania + Varna Bulgaria + Odesa Ukraine.
