Yes, many online tools allow for batch conversions from GMT to WEST. This feature is handy for scheduling meetings or events that involve participants across different time zones.
Here are a few examples: If it’s 6:00 PM in GMT, it will be 7:00 PM in WEST. If it’s 3:00 AM in GMT, it will be 4:00 AM in WEST. To manually convert, add 1 hour to your current GMT.
When planning meetings between participants in GMT and WEST, be mindful of the 1-hour difference. It’s advisable to schedule meetings during overlapping business hours; for example, if it’s convenient for participants in GMT from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, this translates to 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in WEST. This ensures that all parties can attend without conflicts.
