[edit] Time zones 2009

[edit] ... until Oct 25th

• CEST (Central European Summer Time) - EDT (US Eastern Daylight saving Time) = +6h
• CEST - CDT (US Central Daylight saving Time) = +7h
• CEST - MDT (US Mountain Daylight saving Time) = +8h
• CEST - PDT (US Pacific Daylight saving Time) = +9h
• CEST - HST (Hawaii Standard Time) = +12h

• CEST - AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) = -8h

In other words the time in most of Europe is 6 hours ahead of Eastern, 7 ahead of Central, 8 ahead of Mountain, 9 ahead of Pacific and 12 hours ahead of Hawaii. Most of Australia (Eastern Standard Time) is 8 hours ahead of Europe.

This changes due to switching from daylight saving to standard times:

[edit] ... from Oct 25th until Nov 1st

Europe switches to standard time at 3:00 on Oct 25th (CEST), which is 9pm on Oct 24th EDT.

After that CET is used and Europe is only 5 (6, 7, ...) hours ahead of Eastern (Central, Mountain, ...) and 11 hours ahead of Hawaii.

Australia is 9 hours ahead of Europe.

• CET (Central European Time) - EDT (US Eastern Daylight saving Time) = +5h
• CET - CDT (US Central Daylight saving Time) = +6h
• CET - MDT (US Mountain Daylight saving Time) = +7h
• CET - PDT (US Pacific Daylight saving Time) = +8h

• CET - HST (Hawaii Standard Time) = +11h
• CET - AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) = -9h

[edit] ... from Nov 1st

America switches to standard time at 2am on Nov 1st (local times!), which relates to 7:00 CET for Eastern time, 8:00 CET for Central, ... .

Afterwards standard times are used and the "usual" differences apply again. (Hawaii is still 11h behind CET, Australia is 9h ahead)

• CET - EST (US Eastern Standard time) = +6h
• CET - CST (US Central Standard time) = +7h
• CET - MST (US Mountain Standard time) = +8h
• CET - PST (US Pacific Standard time) = +9h

• CET - HST = +11h
• CET - AEST = -9h

Notes:

• Daylight saving ends in the US in 2009 on November 1st, while in Europe it ends October 25th. Hawaii and most of Australia do not use daylight savings.
