Does the gap change during the year?

Yes, because of daylight saving. Until 1 Nov 2026: WAT is 9 h ahead of AKST. From 1 Nov 2026 to 14 Mar 2027: WAT is 10 h ahead of AKST. From 14 Mar 2027 to 7 Nov 2027: WAT is 9 h ahead of AKST.

AKST next changes its clocks on 1 Nov 2026 (back 1 h, to UTC−9), then on 14 Mar 2027 (forward 1 h, to UTC−8). WAT does not change its clocks.
