How Time Zone Conversion Works
Time zone conversion works by comparing the UTC offset of one location to another. Every city or region is measured relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which acts as the global reference point for civil time.
CET is 10 hours ahead of AKST (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: Both AKST and CET observe DST, but switch on different dates. For a few weeks each spring and autumn, the gap shifts by 1 hour — a common source of missed meetings and calendar tool errors.

Hyder, Alaska (population ~50, southeastern panhandle) de facto follows Pacific Time to align with neighboring Stewart, British Columbia — it is technically in AKST territory but observes PST/PDT in practice. This is an extreme edge case and does not affect zone coverage.
