CDT to CET Time — Convert Central Daylight Time (US) to Central European Time

CET is currently 7 hours ahead of CDT.

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).

CET is 7 hours ahead of CDT for most of the year. Central Daylight Time (US) and Central European Time both observe daylight saving, but they change their clocks on different dates, so for a short period each spring and each autumn the gap differs by an hour — the converter above always reflects the correct offset for the date you pick.
