Pale colours: Standard time observed all year Dark colours: Summer time observed Europe spans seven primary time zones (from UTC−01:00 to UTC+05:00), excluding summer time offsets (five of them can be seen on the map, with one further-western zone containing the Azores, and one further-eastern zone spanning the Ural regions of Russia and European part of Kazakhstan).
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the local mean time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London, counted from midnight. At different times in the past, it has been calculated in different ways, including being calculated from noon ; [ 1 ] as a consequence, it cannot be used to specify a particular time unless a context is given.
The shift is the amount of time added at the DST start time and subtracted at the DST end time. For example, in Canada and the United States, when DST starts, the local time changes from 02:00 to 03:00, and when DST ends, the local time changes from 02:00 to 01:00. As the time change depends on the time zone, it does not occur simultaneously in ...

Time in the Kingdom of the Netherlands is denoted by Central European Time (CET; Midden-Europese Tijd) during the winter as standard time in the Netherlands, which is one hour ahead of coordinated universal time (), and Central European Summer Time (CEST) during the summer as daylight saving time, which is two hours ahead of coordinated universal time ().

The main purpose of this page is to list the current standard time offsets of different countries, territories and regions. Information on daylight saving time or historical changes in offsets can be found in the individual offset articles (e.g. UTC+01:00) or the country-specific time articles (e.g. Time in Russia).
In Slovakia, the standard time is Central European Time . [1] Daylight saving time is observed from the last Sunday in March (02:00 CET) to the last Sunday in October (03:00 CEST). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This is shared with several other EU member states .
Because the UTC+00:00 time zone in Europe is at its western edge, Lowestoft in the United Kingdom, at only 1°45′E, is the easternmost settlement in Europe in which UTC+00:00 is applied. Countries and areas west of 22°30′W ("physical" UTC−02:00) that use UTC+00:00
