What CET and SGT Actually Are
CET — Central European Time
Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam, Vienna, Warsaw, Stockholm. Standing at UTC+1:00 as written, and the region does change its clocks, so its live offset moves by an hour twice a year. The next change is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, to CET. Most of continental Europe moves to CEST (UTC+2) for the summer.
Central European Time spans a remarkable stretch of longitude — from Spain's Atlantic coast to Poland's eastern border — so solar noon in Madrid arrives nearly two hours later than in Warsaw.
SGT — Singapore Time
Singapore. Standing at UTC+8:00 as written, and the region does not change its clocks, so that offset holds all year.
Singapore sits at a longitude that would put it near UTC+7, but moved to UTC+8 in 1982 to align with Malaysia and Hong Kong — a trade decision rather than a solar one.
What This Means in Practice
This gap is not fixed
CET changes its clocks and SGT does not, so the difference between them moves by an hour twice a year. A recurring meeting set now will drift for one side from Sunday, October 25, 2026 unless someone resets it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time difference between CET and SGT?
SGT is 6 hours ahead of CET. That is the live figure. Taken strictly as written, the gap between CET and SGT is 7 hours — the two differ because at least one of these regions is currently on daylight saving.
What is 9:00 AM CET in SGT?
9:00 AM CET is 3:00 PM SGT.
What are the best hours to schedule a call between CET and SGT?
Between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM CET, which is 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM SGT. Both sides are inside normal business hours through that window.
Does the difference between CET and SGT change during the year?
Yes. CET observes daylight saving and SGT does not, so the gap shifts by an hour at least twice a year. The next clock change is on Sunday, October 25, 2026.
Does CET always mean Central European Time?
Most of continental Europe moves to CEST (UTC+2) for the summer.
