About Central Africa Time (CAT)
Central Africa Time (CAT, IANA: Africa/Johannesburg, Africa/Harare) is the civil time for Central and Southern African countries, set at UTC+2:00 year-round (no DST). CAT serves approximately 200 million people across: Botswana, Burundi, DR Congo (eastern half), Egypt (since 2014 reverting from earlier DST trial; year-round UTC+2), eSwatini (Swaziland), Lesotho, Libya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia (since 2017 reverting from earlier WAT trial; year-round UTC+2), Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan (UTC+2 since 2017), Zambia, Zimbabwe. CAT shares the same UTC offset as Eastern European Time (EET) in winter, Egypt Standard Time (EET-Egypt), and Israel Standard Time (IST). Major CAT cities: Johannesburg (5.6M city, 10M metro — economic capital of Sub-Saharan Africa), Cape Town (4.7M metro), Cairo (10M city, 22M metro — the largest city in Africa and the Middle East), Khartoum (5.3M), Lusaka (2.7M), Harare (1.6M), Tripoli (1.2M), Pretoria (740K). Affects: JSE Johannesburg Stock Exchange trading, Cairo + Alexandria Stock Exchange (EGX) trading hours, Kruger National Park safari schedules.
About Central European Summer Time (CEST)
Central European Summer Time (CEST, IANA: Europe/Berlin during DST window) is the summer-time variant of CET, set at UTC+2:00 — observed from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. CEST shares the same UTC offset as Eastern European Time (EET) (used by Greece, Romania, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Cyprus during winter), and is one hour ahead of Western European Summer Time (WEST). The 2018 European Commission proposal to abolish DST (with countries choosing to permanently stay on either standard time or summer time) has been delayed indefinitely as of 2024. CEST serves the same ~460 million population as CET across 27 European countries. The 'spring forward' transition at 02:00 CET on the last Sunday of March is one of the largest single coordinated time changes in human history. Affects: All European TV broadcast schedules (Eurovision Song Contest broadcast time), F1 European-round race start times, summer-music-festival schedules (Tomorrowland, Sziget, Glastonbury — UK on BST), and tourism arrival/check-in times in major European cities.
