About Eastern European Time (EET)

Eastern European Time (EET, IANA: Europe/Athens, Europe/Helsinki) is the civil time during winter for Eastern European countries, set at UTC+2:00. EET serves approximately 50 million people across: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine (partial, since 1990), and parts of Russia's Kaliningrad exclave (USZ1 = UTC+2 year-round, no DST). EET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to EEST = UTC+3) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC for EU member states; Ukraine and Moldova follow the same schedule but as non-EU members independently. Major EET cities: Athens (700K city, 3.7M metro), Helsinki (660K), Bucharest (1.7M), Sofia (1.3M), Riga (615K), Vilnius (590K), Tallinn (450K), Nicosia 320K), Kyiv (3M). The Russian portion of Ukraine after 2014 may use Moscow Time (MSK = UTC+3) per Russian government decree, while the Ukrainian government continues to use EET for the entire country.

About Central Standard Time (CST)

Central Standard Time (CST, IANA: America/Chicago, America/Mexico_City) is the time zone for the US Central region, central Mexico, and most of Central America, set at UTC-6:00. CST is the most populous US time zone by area covered and serves the Chicago-Dallas-Houston-Minneapolis corridor of ~80 million people across CST states (Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee western, Kansas eastern, Nebraska eastern, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kentucky western, Indiana western, Michigan UP, Florida panhandle) plus Mexico (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey since 2022 DST abolition), Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Belize. CST observes DST (switching to CDT = UTC-5:00) per Energy Policy Act 2005 — except for Mexico nationally, which abolished DST in 2022 except for border zones aligning with US DST. CST affects: NYSE close at 15:00 CST, CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) commodity futures pit/electronic hours, Texas Medical Center coordinated patient handoffs.
