Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between CEST and PST?

During standard time, Pacific Standard Time is 10 hours behind Central European Summer Time.

When does CEST start and end?

CEST begins on the last Sunday in March at 02:00 local CET time, when clocks spring forward one hour from CET (UTC+1) to CEST (UTC+2). It ends on the last Sunday in October at 03:00 local CEST time, when clocks fall back to CET. In 2026, CEST runs from March 29 through October 25, covering approximately seven months of the year across all EU member states that observe this schedule.

Is CEST the same as CET?

CEST and CET are two phases of the same Central European Time zone. CET (Central European Time) is the winter offset at UTC+1, observed from late October through late March. CEST (Central European Summer Time) is the summer offset at UTC+2, active during the EU Daylight Saving Time period — meaning Berlin, Paris, and Rome run one hour ahead of their winter clock for roughly seven months each year.

What is the difference between PST and PDT?

PST (Pacific Standard Time) is the winter offset at UTC-8, observed from the first Sunday in November through the second Sunday in March. PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) is the summer offset at UTC-7, active when Daylight Saving Time shifts clocks forward by one hour.

Which major cities observe Pacific Standard Time?

Major cities that observe Pacific Standard Time include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, Vancouver, and Tijuana.
