GMT to CET converter
CET is 2 hours ahead of GMT right now. Live clocks on both sides, a direct time input, the full 24-hour table with a permalink per hour, and the real daylight-saving state — computed from the IANA tz database on every request, never from a stored offset.
Convert an exact time type it — no sliders
Conversion runs in your browser against the same IANA rules the server uses, so it keeps working offline and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Daylight saving right now
Central European Time
Europe/Paris is currently on CEST (UTC+02:00), its daylight-saving clock. That is not CET — this page is named for the abbreviation people search for, and tells you the truth about which one is actually in force.
next change: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 02:00 local → CET (73 days, clocks go back)
CET is UTC+1, the winter clock for most of mainland western Europe. From late March to late October the same countries run CEST (UTC+2).
Greenwich Mean Time
Etc/GMT is on GMT (UTC+00:00).
no clock change scheduled — fixed at UTC+00:00
GMT is UTC+0 and never shifts. The UK observes GMT in winter only — in summer it is on BST (UTC+1), so "GMT" on a British invite dated in July usually means BST.
Best time to call green = 09:00–18:00 on both sides
7 overlapping working hours. The longest run is 09:00–16:00 GMT, which is 11:00–18:00 CET.
