Daylight saving and how the gap changes

CET is 6 hours ahead of EDT for most of the year. Eastern 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.
