WET and WEST
WEST is the daylight saving version of WET, 1 hour ahead of it. Writing WET in summer means a time that is 1 hour off for the places that have switched.
WET to UTC, GMT and other zones
WET is a fixed offset, so these conversions do not change with the seasons. What changes is which abbreviation a region is using on a given date.
