Hour by hour

Computed on a date when CEST is genuinely in force — using today would be wrong for half the year, because a standard-time abbreviation does not exist in summer.

Common questions

What is the difference between CEST and UTC?
UTC is 2 hours behind of CEST. CEST means Central European Summer Time at UTC+2, and UTC means Coordinated Universal Time at UTC+0.
Which time zone does this page use for CEST?
Europe/Berlin. An abbreviation is not a time zone — it is a label a zone wears for part of the year — so every calculation here uses a named IANA zone and says which one. If you are writing code, use Europe/Berlin rather than the string "CEST".
Is CEST a daylight saving abbreviation?
Yes. CEST only exists during the daylight saving part of the year; outside it, the same zone is on a different abbreviation and a different offset.
