With Central European Summer Time (CEST) given as UTC +2, what UTC corresponds to 1600 CEST?

  • A

    1600 UTC.

  • B

    1500 UTC.

  • C

    1700 UTC.

  • D

    1400 UTC.

Central European Time (CET) is a standard time used by Central and Western European countries and some North-African countries, which is one hour ahead of the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The time offset from UTC can be also written as UTC + 01:00:

  • CET = UTC + 01:00

Central European Summer Time (CEST) is a Daylight Saving Time and 2 hours ahead of the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC):

  • CEST = UTC + 02:00

Thus, if CEST is given as UTC +2, then the UTC corresponding to 16:00 CEST will be:

  • UTC = CEST - 02:00 = 16:00 - 02:00 = 14:00
