1 pm west african time to new york

West African Time (WAT) is UTC+1, and New York is in the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone, which is UTC-5. During standard time, New York is 6 hours behind West African Time.

So, if it's 1 pm WAT, it would be:

• 7 am EST (during standard time)
• 8 am EDT (during daylight saving time)

Keep in mind that West Africa does not observe daylight saving time, so you can use the standard offset of 6 hours.
