EST vs CET

EST is the standard time (UTC−5); when daylight saving is in effect it becomes EDT (UTC−4). The live clock on this page always shows the current offset. CET is the standard time (UTC+1); when daylight saving is in effect it becomes CEST (UTC+2). The live clock on this page always shows the current offset.
