CET → PDTGap: -9hNo 9-5 overlap

CET to PDT currently uses Central European Time in Europe/Berlin and Pacific Time in America/Los_Angeles as the live reference pair, with a -9h live gap. CET to PDT matters whenever Berlin and Los Angeles need to coordinate across a -9h gap. The CET side covers Germany and Spain, while PDT covers United States and Mexico — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.

Last updated Apr 26, 2026. Offset math, DST behavior, and city coverage on both sides are refreshed from the live timezone dataset during the page revalidation window.

How this is calculated

How we calculate this
The current offset for each abbreviation is resolved against the live IANA timezone rules. Conversion accounts for DST transitions on both sides, so the gap between CET and PDT can change by an hour twice a year.

Pair context

CET (Berlin, +02:00) to PDT (Los Angeles, -07:00) is currently a -9h conversion. Live coverage on the CET side is anchored by Berlin, Madrid, Algiers, and Rome; the PDT side draws from Los Angeles, Tijuana, San Diego, and Mexicali.

CET to PDT matters whenever Berlin and Los Angeles need to coordinate across a -9h gap. The CET side covers Germany and Spain, while PDT covers United States and Mexico — that country mix is the practical reason this conversion shows up in calendars rather than the abstract offset math.

This pair crosses the Atlantic, with one side in the Americas and the other in Europe or Africa. The -9h gap is small enough that there is still a real shared midday window, which is why transatlantic finance, broadcasting, and conference scheduling lean on this conversion.

Both CET (Europe/Berlin) and PDT (America/Los_Angeles) observe daylight saving, but the shift dates do not always align. Expect short mismatch windows in spring and autumn when one side has changed and the other has not, which moves the live gap by an hour for several weeks at a time.

CET and PDT sit exactly 9h apart, which leaves no shared 9-to-5 block. Live meetings have to bend one side's day, so most teams settle for one of two narrow windows: very early on the late side, or very late on the early side. That makes async messages, recorded standups, and clear handoff notes more valuable than calendar invites.

Market coverage on both sides

CET coverage on this page is led by Berlin, Germany, Madrid, Spain, Algiers, Algeria, and Rome, Italy, with 2 more in the live dataset. That mix is what makes CET feel anchored to European working-day rhythms in practice rather than just an abbreviation on a chart.

PDT coverage is led by Los Angeles, United States, Tijuana, Mexico, San Diego, United States, and Mexicali, Mexico, with 2 more anchoring the wider label family. Combined with the CET side, this conversion ends up describing transatlantic finance, broadcast scheduling, and same-day cross-border product launches.

Operational notes

CET to PDT ranges from CET 9:00 AM (which lands at PDT 12:00 AM) through CET 9:00 PM (PDT 12:00 PM). With no clean 9-to-5 overlap between CET and PDT, both ends of this range push outside standard hours — useful for recorded standups and async work, awkward for live calls.

PDT to CET ranges from PDT 9:00 AM (which lands at CET 6:00 PM) through PDT 9:00 PM (CET 6:00 AM). Most of those slots fall on a different calendar day on the CET side, which is why this direction always needs explicit dates in invites and ticket comments — the time alone is not enough.

Overlap window and DST radar

The live gap is -9h right now, based on Europe/Berlin at +02:00 and America/Los_Angeles at -07:00. The zones change on different dates, so there is a DST mismatch window between October 25, 2026 and November 1, 2026. During that stretch the gap shifts to -8h before settling at -9h.

There is no strict 9 AM to 5 PM overlap right now, so this pair is better for handoffs, travel planning, or async coordination than for midday meetings.

Europe/Berlin changes on October 25, 2026 at about 2:00 AM, moving from +02:00 to +01:00.
America/Los_Angeles changes on November 1, 2026 at about 1:15 AM, moving from -08:00 to -08:00.
