FAQs

Is CET always 1 hour ahead of UTC? ›

Central European Time (CET) is a standard time of Central, and parts of Western Europe, which is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The time offset from UTC can be written as UTC+01:00. It is used in most parts of Europe and in a few North African countries.

To convert 18:00 UTC into your local time, add 1 hour, to get 19:00 CET. In summer, add 2 hours to get 20:00 CEST.

Add the local time offset to the UTC time. For example, if your local time offset is -5:00, and if the UTC time is shown as 11:00, add -5 to 11. The time setting when adjusted for offset is 06:00 (6:00 A.M.).

Some time zones have a different UTC offset at different times of the year. Central Time is five hours behind Universal Coordinated Time (abbreviated as UTC-5) during Daylight Saving Time and six hours behind Universal Coordinated Time (UTC-6) during Standard Time.

Eastern European Time (EET) is one of the names of UTC+02:00 time zone, 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time.

The time zone in Germany is Central European Time (Mitteleuropäische Zeit, MEZ; UTC+01:00) and Central European Summer Time (Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit, MESZ; UTC+02:00). Daylight saving time is observed from the last Sunday in March (02:00 CET) to the last Sunday in October (03:00 CEST).

UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time. It is a standard used to establish time zones worldwide. For example, New York City is in the UTC-5 time zone, which means the time in NYC is five hours behind UTC (except during U.S. daylight savings, when it is four hours behind).

Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+02:00), sometimes referred to as Central European Daylight Time (CEDT), is the standard clock time observed during the period of summer daylight-saving in those European countries which observe Central European Time (CET; UTC+01:00) during the other part of the year.

UTC is 8 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time (e.g., 0000 UTC is 1600 PST the previous day, while 1200 UTC is 0400 PST the same day), and 7 hours ahead of Pacific Daylight Time (e.g., 0000 UTC is 1700 PDT the previous day, while 1200 UTC is 0500 PDT the same day).

UTC does not change with a change of seasons, but local time or civil time may change if a time zone jurisdiction observes daylight saving time (summer time).

There is no time difference between Coordinated Universal Time and Greenwich Mean Time.

The most important thing about Central Standard Time to remember is that it's 6 hours behind the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Also, this time zone is usually used in North America and Central America during standard time (in fall and winter).
