Time zone in Norway
Norway uses a single time zone: Central European Standard Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. Every clock in the country shows the same time.
Oslo lies at 10.7° east, where mean solar time is UTC+0:43 (four minutes per degree of longitude). Standard time runs 17 min ahead of the sun, so on average the sun is highest at about 12:17 PM in winter and an hour later in summer.
Daylight saving time in Norway
Yes. Norway moves its clocks forward one hour on the last Sunday of March at 2:00 AM and back on the last Sunday of October at 3:00 AM (local time).
All coming change dates are on the Europe/Oslo page.
Clock history of Norway
The record begins with local mean time (clocks set by the sun, UTC+0:43 in Oslo), which ended on January 1, 1895, when CET (UTC+1) replaced it. Between 1970 and 2024, a daylight saving period began in 45 of the 55 years. The first summer time in the record dates from 1916. The table summarises the clocks of Norway year by year since 1970, from the tzdata entry Europe/Oslo.
| Years | Clocks | Abbreviations |
|---|---|---|
| 1970–1979 | UTC+1 all year | CET |
| 1980 onward | UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 in summer | CET, CEST |
Rows from 2027 on follow the rules in tzdata 2026f; a government decision would change them in the next release.
