Convert GMT to CET
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to Central European Time (CET)
Post-Brexit, UK teams coordinating with EU offices in Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin check this conversion constantly for regulatory calls, financial market handoffs, and cross-border project syncs. The 1-hour gap is small, but the UK and EU switch clocks on different dates in spring, creating a brief period where the offset shifts to 0 or 2 hours -- catching unprepared teams off guard.
When it's 12:00 PM GMT, it's 1:00 PM CET

Scheduling Tips
- With only a 1-hour gap, schedule freely during standard business hours. The overlap between UK and Central European work hours is nearly complete.
- For early morning syncs, 8:00 AM GMT / 9:00 AM CET works without being too early for either side.
- Monitor EU clock-change legislation. If the EU abolishes seasonal time changes, the UK-CET offset could vary between 0 and 2 hours depending on the season.
