PST to CET Converter

Converting Pacific Standard Time to Central European Time

Pacific Standard Time (PST) and Central European Time (CET) are separated by a 9 hours time difference. CET is 9 hours ahead of PST. PST is UTC-8, used in United States, Canada, while CET is UTC+1, used in Germany, France, Italy.

When converting from PST to CET, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM PST equals 6:00 PM CET, 12:00 PM noon PST equals 9:00 PM CET, and 5:00 PM PST equals 2:00 AM CET. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across PST and CET

For professionals scheduling meetings between PST and CET, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 9 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

PST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to PDT (UTC-7) during summer months. CET observes DST, switching to CEST (UTC+2). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
