Questions about BST and CET time

What is the time difference between BST and CET?

The current difference is shown at the top of this page. BST uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+0) as standard time and British Summer Time (BST, UTC+1) during daylight saving time; CET uses Central European Standard Time (CET, UTC+1) as standard time and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) during daylight saving time. The difference can change if only one side observes daylight saving time or if their clocks change on different dates. Choose your meeting date in the converter to check the applicable offset.
