About daylight saving
These abbreviations name a zone, not a fixed offset. CET is Europe/Paris and is currently on GMT+2; EST is America/New_York and is currently on EDT. The gap between them changes on the days each side switches, which is why this page converts through the zones rather than through a stored offset.
