UTC vs CET
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) runs at UTC+0 and CET (Central European Time) at UTC+1. CET is normally 1 hour ahead of UTC.
UTC stays at UTC+0 all year round — it does not observe daylight saving time. 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.
