When the difference changes

Central European Time and Moscow 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, 2027Moscow Time is 2 hours ahead
  2. March 28, 2027 – October 31, 2027Moscow Time is 1 hour ahead
  3. October 31, 2027 – onwardsMoscow Time is 2 hours ahead

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

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.

Moscow Time

No clock changes

Moscow Time stays on MSK all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.
