About CET and EST
Central European Time is used in Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and most of the EU. It is CET (UTC+1) in winter and CEST (UTC+2) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.
Eastern Time covers New York, Washington, Miami and Atlanta. It is EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. People often write EST all year; this page follows the clocks.
