EET time now (Eastern European Time)

What EET means

EET stands for Eastern European Time, UTC+2. It is used in Finland, the Baltic states, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, Lebanon and Libya.

It is a standard (winter) time. Places on EET that observe daylight saving time switch to EEST (UTC+3) in summer, so EET is a fixed offset while the local clock is not.

Where and when EET is used

2 zones use EET all year. 15 zones use it for part of the year only, switching to daylight saving time in the other months. Computed from tzdata under the current rules.

How long EET has been used

In the tzdata record, Beirut has used EET since 1879, Sofia has used EET since 1894 and Cairo has used EET since 1900.

• Asia/Amman (Amman): 1930–2022

EET converted to other zones

Every column is a fixed offset, so this table is valid on any date. Remember that the regions behind some columns switch to summer time (EST to EDT, CET to CEST, GMT to BST); the clock in those cities is then an hour later than the column.
