How many hours between CET and GMT?

CET is UTC+1 and GMT is UTC+0, a difference of 1 hour. GMT is behind CET. This difference can shift by an hour in either direction during Daylight Saving Time transitions — if one zone observes DST and the other doesn't, the offset narrows or widens for part of the year.

Does CET observe Daylight Saving Time?

Central European Time (CET) is based on the Europe/Paris IANA timezone. DST observance depends on the jurisdiction — for example, most of the continental US switches between standard and daylight time, while India, Japan, and most of Southeast Asia do not observe DST at all. WorldClock.lol uses the authoritative IANA timezone database, so every conversion automatically accounts for the correct DST rules on the date you're converting.
