How many hours is MST behind WET?
As abbreviations, WET is always 7 hours ahead of MST: MST is UTC−7 and WET is UTC+0. To convert, add 7 hours.
Check which label you actually need: MST (Mountain Time is on MDT today) and WET (Western European Time is on WEST today). A time written with an abbreviation that is not in use is usually meant as the local time, so convert between the places instead: right now WET is 7 hours ahead of MST.
When the MST to WET time difference changes
For most of the year WET is 7 hours ahead of MST. From 25 October to 31 October 2026, WET is 6 hours ahead of MST instead, because the two places change their clocks on different dates. Meetings booked by the usual gap land an hour off in those weeks.
