About these time zones
Central European Time (CET)
Central European Time (CET) is UTC+1, the standard time of most of the European Union from Spain to Poland. From the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October those countries use Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2). Algeria and Tunisia stay on UTC+1 all year.
Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Pacific Standard Time (PST) is UTC-8. California, Washington, most of Oregon and Nevada, most of British Columbia and Baja California use PST in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Yukon left Pacific Time in 2020 and now stays on UTC-7 all year.
