Hi James!
Much of Europe, from the Portuguese-Spanish border to Warsaw is in the Central European Time zone. It's six hours ahead of New York, where I am. When it's noon here, it's 6 p.m. in Paris, Berlin, Rome and so on. Here's a complete list, with times based on noon New York time in June:
- Iceland. West European Time with no Daylight Saving. 12 noon Eastern = 4 p.m. in Reykjavik. Also in the Azores.
- West European Summer Time. It's 5 p.m. in Lisbon and Dublin. In the UK, this time is known as British Summer Time. Also in the Canary Islands.
- Central European Summer Time. It's 6 p.m. in Madrid and Vienna.
- East European Summer Time. It's 7 p.m. in Athens, Istanbul, Helsinki and Kiev. In Georgia, which does not observe Daylight Saving, it's also 7 p.m.
- Moscow Time. 8 p.m. in Moscow and St. Petersburg. (Note that in the Konigsberg enclave of Russia, it's just 7 p.m.). Also in Yerevan and Baku.
- Volga Time - In Samara, it's 9 p.m.
A couple of footnotes:
Also at Scoresbysund, East Greenland Summer Time, it would be 4 p.m., same as Iceland.
On St. Pierre, a French territory off the coast of Newfoundland, and at Godthaab, Greenland, where it is known as West Greenland Summer Time, it would be 2 p.m.
