BST to CET: convert British Time to Central European Time

CET is 1 hour ahead of BST all year.

Both clocks change for daylight saving on similar schedules, so the gap between them does not move.

The United Kingdom uses GMT in winter and BST (British Summer Time) in summer. BST also abbreviates Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6).

Both lanes show the same instant. Local dates, daylight, and offsets come from each IANA zone on the selected date, so daylight saving changes are included.
