West Africa Time
West Africa Time, or WAT, is a time zone used in west-central Africa. West Africa Time is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time, which makes it the same as Central European Time during winter, or Western European Summer Time and British Summer Time during the summer.
As most of this time zone is in the tropical region, there is little change in day length throughout the year, so daylight saving time is not observed.
West Africa Time is the time zone for the following countries:
Countries west of Benin are in the UTC±0 time zone. Civil time in most of these countries is defined with reference to Greenwich Mean Time.
