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

BST is currently 1 hour behind CET.

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).

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.

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

BST is currently 1 hour behind CET.

What is the current CET to BST time difference?

Right now the gap is 1 hour — BST is 1 hour behind CET.

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