Time zone offset: UTC - 2 hours

Note that WGST is a daylight saving time/summer time zone. It is generally only used during the summer in the places listed below, during the winter WGT is used instead

Time zone abbreviation: WGST

Full name is Western Greenland Summer Time

Email time zone indicator: -0200

An email sent from someone in the WGST time zone will have the time zone listed as "-0200" in the headers of the email. (However, "-0200" does not have to be in WGST, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).

For actual dates DST might be observed, look at the examples below
