When the difference changes

Australian Western Standard Time and Central European Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. Now – March 28, 2027Central European Time is 7 hours behind
  2. March 28, 2027 – October 31, 2027Central European Time is 6 hours behind
  3. October 31, 2027 – onwardsCentral European Time is 7 hours behind

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Daylight saving

Australian Western Standard Time

No clock changes

Australian Western Standard Time stays on AWST all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Central European Time

Sunday, March 28, 2027

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on CEST after that.
