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.
About Japan Standard Time (JST)
Japan Standard Time (JST, IANA: Asia/Tokyo) is the civil time of Japan, set at UTC+9:00 year-round (no DST). Japan observed Daylight Saving Time only briefly during American Occupation (1948-1951) and discontinued it after the Treaty of San Francisco. JST is also called Nippon Hyōjunji (日本標準時) and is officially maintained by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) — Japan operates a sophisticated atomic-clock-based timekeeping system at NICT Koganei facility with caesium beam frequency standards CSF-2 + Sr-87 optical lattice clock. JST is identical in offset to Korea Standard Time (KST), Yakutsk Time (Russian Far East), Western Indonesian Time WIT (eastern Indonesia), and Palau Time (PWT). JST serves Japan's approximately 125 million residents across 47 prefectures. Major JST cities: Tokyo (14M city, 37M metro — the world's largest metropolitan area by population), Yokohama (3.8M — Tokyo bay metro), Osaka (2.7M, Kansai region 19M metro), Nagoya (2.3M, Chukyo region 9.5M metro), Sapporo (1.9M — Hokkaido capital), Fukuoka (1.6M — Kyushu hub), Kobe (1.5M), Kawasaki (1.5M), Saitama (1.3M). Affects: TSE (Tokyo Stock Exchange) trading hours 09:00-15:00 JST, Tokyo Sumo Grand Tournaments, Shinkansen bullet-train scheduling, Tokyo Disney + USJ park operating hours.
