Gourt Home::Gourt :: Central European Time
Central European Time (CET) is one of the names of UTC+1 time zone, 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. It is used in most European and some North African countries. Most of them also use Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) as a summer daylight saving time.
Central European Time used to be also known under other names, such as Middle European Time (MET), but today the MET abbreviation should be used only for Middle Eastern Time to avoid confusion. It is also commonly referred to as "Central Europe Time".
