CET to GMT Time — Convert Central European Time to Greenwich Mean Time

GMT is currently 2 hours 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).

GMT is equivalent to UTC for everyday use. In the UK it also refers to the winter (non-daylight-saving) time; in summer the UK moves to BST (UTC+1).

Around January GMT is 1 hour behind CET. Around July it is 2 hours behind CET. That swing comes from one or both zones observing daylight saving on different schedules — the converter above always reflects the correct offset for the date you pick.
