About UTC+1

UTC+1 is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time: when it is noon UTC, it is 1:00 PM at UTC+1.

4 zones keep UTC+1 all year, covering 13 countries or territories.

16 zones use it only in winter and move to UTC+2 in summer, for example Berlin, Madrid and Rome.

6 zones reach it only in summer, from standard time UTC+0, for example London, Dublin and Lisbon. So the set of places on UTC+1 changes twice a year.

For a fixed offset in software, tzdata provides Etc/GMT-1; note the inverted sign of these POSIX-style names.

Abbreviations for UTC+1: WEST (Western European Summer Time), BST (British Summer Time), CET (Central European Time), WAT (West Africa Time).

UTC+1 and the sun

Across the large cities that keep UTC+1 all year, the clock runs 30 minutes behind mean solar time in Bumba (22.5°) and 69 minutes ahead of it in Béchar (-2.2°). The offset’s own meridian is 15° east: the further a city lies from it, the further its clocks drift from the sun.

Neighbouring offsets: UTC−1 (Praia) and UTC+2 (Johannesburg and Lubumbashi).

Zones that moved to or from UTC+1 since 1970

Changes of the winter (standard) offset recorded in tzdata; ordinary seasonal daylight saving changes are not counted:

UTC+1 converted to other offsets

Fixed offsets only, so the table holds on any date; a city that observes daylight saving time is an hour later than its standard column in summer.
