Timezone converter
WEST to EST currently uses Western European Time in Africa/Casablanca and Eastern Time in America/New_York as the live reference pair, with a -5h live gap. WEST to EST matters whenever Casablanca and New York City need to coordinate across a -5h gap. The WEST side covers Morocco and Portugal, while EST covers United States and Canada — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.

Based on the busiest city and zone usage found in the current dataset.
WEST (Casablanca, +01:00) to EST (New York City, -04:00) is currently a -5h conversion. Live coverage on the WEST side is anchored by Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, and Tangier; the EST side draws from New York City, Toronto, Brooklyn, and Queens.
WEST to EST matters whenever Casablanca and New York City need to coordinate across a -5h gap. The WEST side covers Morocco and Portugal, while EST covers United States and Canada — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.
This pair crosses the Atlantic, with one side in the Americas and the other in Europe or Africa. The -5h gap is small enough that there is still a real shared midday window, which is why transatlantic finance, broadcasting, and conference scheduling lean on this conversion.
Both WEST (Africa/Casablanca) and EST (America/New_York) observe daylight saving, but the shift dates do not always align. Expect short mismatch windows in spring and autumn when one side has changed and the other has not, which moves the live gap by an hour for several weeks at a time.
WEST and EST sit exactly 5h apart, with about 3h of shared 9-to-5 time. That is enough room for one daily standup plus one focused working session, which is what most cross-region teams actually use this overlap for.
WEST coverage on this page is led by Casablanca, Morocco, Rabat, Morocco, Fes, Morocco, and Tangier, Morocco, with 2 more in the live dataset. That mix is what makes WEST feel anchored to African business hubs in practice rather than just an abbreviation on a chart.
EST coverage is led by New York City, United States, Toronto, Canada, Brooklyn, United States, and Queens, United States, with 2 more anchoring the wider label family. Combined with the WEST side, this conversion ends up describing transatlantic finance, broadcast scheduling, and same-day cross-border product launches.
