About Central European Time (CET)

Central European Time (CET, IANA: Europe/Berlin, Europe/Paris) is the civil time during winter for most of continental Western and Central Europe, set at UTC+1:00. CET serves approximately 460 million people across 26 countries: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (except Canary Islands), Sweden, Switzerland, Vatican City. CET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to CEST = UTC+2) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The European Commission proposed abolishing the twice-yearly clock change in 2018 (with most countries to be permanently on summer time CEST), but final implementation was postponed indefinitely due to Brexit and COVID-19. CET affects: Frankfurt Stock Exchange / Deutsche Börse / Eurex trading hours, Paris Stock Exchange Euronext trading, European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy meetings, FIFA Champions League match kickoff times (typically 21:00 CET), and the EU Commission Brussels working hours.

About Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)

Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, IANA: America/Los_Angeles during DST window) is the summer-time variant of PST, set at UTC-7:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended the US DST window by ~4 weeks compared to the prior Uniform Time Act of 1966 schedule. PDT is the same offset as Mountain Standard Time (MST), creating a confusing situation where Arizona (which doesn't observe DST and stays on MST year-round) shares the same clock as California during summer months but is one hour behind during winter. PDT is used by ~50 million people in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, British Columbia, Yukon, and Baja California Norte. Affects: West-Coast NYSE/Nasdaq market open shifts to 06:30 PDT, professional sports West Coast game-time broadcasts to East Coast PDT prime time, and US Pacific Fleet operations from Naval Base San Diego.
