Does CET observe Daylight Saving Time?

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.
