CET covers Western Europe except Portugal and the British Isles (they're on GMT), and Central Europe including Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, former Yugoslavia.

I think all the countries observe Daylight Savings Time, so Portugal and the British Isles are currently on GMT + 1, and CET countries on GMT + 2. At the end of the month we'll go back to normal time, ie GMT for Portugal and British Isles, GMT + 1 for CET zone.

If that is hopelessly not clear, you should see some of the historical digging DoDo and I did once on the history of all that. No, you shouldn't see...

I was just wondering what time they were announcing the Nobel prize tomorrow (11 am CET) ...  I'll just assume it's 7 hours ahead of me.

I have a site like that I use, but it lists countries and cities, not time zone abreviations.  Which is why I wasn't sure where CET was...

What do you get if you google 'time zones'?

I'm on FST-"French summer time"?

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!

The use of this is confusing. FST = CEST, in other words CET in summer.

Here's a map:

The green zone is CET.
