What PST and CET mean here
PST means US Pacific Time: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Vancouver. That's PST (UTC−8) in winter and PDT (UTC−7) from March 8 to November 1, 2026. The Philippines also uses "PST" for Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8); for that, search for Manila.
CET (Central European Time, UTC+1) is the winter time in Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam, Brussels, Vienna, Warsaw and Stockholm. From March 29 to October 25, 2026 these countries use CEST (UTC+2). EU countries switch on the last Sunday of March and October, which is a few weeks after (and one week before) the US.
