It seems like ppl still find it confusing with GMT, BST and CET, so nana plz make this a sticky one
GMT/UTC = GMT/UTC (don't change at all)
UK Winter = GMT/UTC
CET Winter = GMT/UTC +1
BST = GMT/UTC +1
CET Summer = GMT/UTC +2

I would just add that BST is British Summer Time, for people not familiar with the acronym. It's what the UK is on between when they move the clocks forward in the spring and back in the autumn.

Doesn't really help much that british people often use BST and GMT interchangably like they're the same thing, even tho they're the only ones who use em.

Well, according to what I know, this was arrange some years ago due to European Union and time changes for summer/winter hapen the same dates across Europe.

If thats the case I dont really understand why people keep having this discussion. uk is always -1h from the rest of central europe. So imo its enough to say if its cet time or uk time a raid is
