West Samoa Time (WST) operates at UTC+13 hours year-round, with no daylight saving adjustments since 2021. Sometimes referred to as "Samoa Standard Time," WST is the official time zone for Samoa, providing a stable and reliable time standard across the country's islands in the South Pacific.
Importance and Global Use of WST
WST is crucial for coordinating Samoa's public services, business activities, and daily routines. A fixed and predictable time zone supports smooth scheduling for transport, tourism, education, and local administration, helping maintain consistent national operations throughout the year.
Internationally, West Samoa Time supports clear coordination with Pacific and Asia-Pacific partners. Its UTC+13 offset allows Samoa to align efficiently with regional markets, travel networks, and diplomatic relations, reinforcing its place in regional cooperation and global commerce.
