What is CET in BST?

British Time is 1 hour behind

Central European Time is on UTC+1:00 and British Time is on UTC+0:00 right now. That gap holds all year, because both zones change their clocks on the same dates.

A note on BST: it can also mean Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). This page means British Summer Time.
