CDT is 7 hours behind CET for most of the year. Central European Time and Central Daylight Time (US) 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.
