What WET and PST Actually Are
WET — Western European Time
Lisbon, Porto, the Canary Islands. Standing at UTC as written, and the region does change its clocks, so its live offset moves by an hour twice a year. The next change is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, to WET.
Portugal moved to Central European Time in 1992 and switched back four years later, after finding that later sunrises hurt more than later sunsets helped.
PST — Pacific Standard Time
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, Vancouver. Standing at UTC-8:00 as written, and the region does change its clocks, so its live offset moves by an hour twice a year. The next change is on Sunday, November 1, 2026, to PST. The Philippines occasionally uses PST for Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8); PHT is the clearer label for that.
California voted in 2018 to move to permanent daylight time, but the change needs an act of Congress and has never happened, so PST is still the winter standard.
What This Means in Practice
Both sides change clocks, on different dates
Both regions observe daylight saving but do not switch on the same day, so for a week or two each spring and fall the gap between them is an hour different from the rest of the year. Those short windows are where recurring invitations quietly break.
