BST to CET Time — Convert British Summer Time to Central European Time

CET is currently 1 hour ahead of BST.

On Clockjumper, BST refers to British Summer Time (UTC+1), the UK's daylight-saving offset. The same letters are also used locally for Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6) — check the city or UTC offset to be sure which is meant.

On Clockjumper, CET refers to Central European Time, UTC+1 — the winter time across most of continental Western and Central Europe. From the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October the same countries move to CEST (UTC+2).

The BST → CET offset stays constant across the year — neither zone shifts for daylight saving in a way that changes this gap.

CET is currently 1 hour ahead of BST.

What is the current BST to CET time difference?

Right now the gap is 1 hour — CET is 1 hour ahead of BST.

Does the BST → CET offset change during the year?

No. Neither British Summer Time nor Central European Time shifts for daylight saving in a way that changes this offset — the gap is the same all year.
