Key facts about Central European Time.
Central European Time covers most of Europe in winter.
Central European Time (CET) is a standard-time abbreviation. In regions that observe daylight saving time, clocks move forward one hour in spring and the abbreviation changes for the summer months (for example EST becomes EDT, CST becomes CDT). During those months the UTC offset shifts by +1 hour.
Always check whether a given location is currently on standard or daylight time before converting — the offset shown here (UTC+1) is the standard-time value.
Compare CET with any city, or plan a meeting across zones.
