About GMT to CET Conversion

Converting time between GMT and CET requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. GMT (GMT) operates at UTC+0, while CET (CET) is set to UTC+1. This means CET is 1 hour ahead GMT. For example, when it's 2:10 AM GMT on February 4, 2026, it's 3:10 AM CET in CET. Europe/London observes daylight saving time, switching between GMT (UTC+0) and BST (UTC+1), while Europe/Berlin does not observe daylight saving time. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in CET for any time in GMT, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
