About Stockholm's time zone

Stockholm follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and CEST (UTC+2) in summer. Sweden's northern latitude means Stockholm experiences extreme light variations: nearly 18 hours of daylight in June and just 6 hours in December. Daylight saving time in Sweden shifts the summer sun to remain above the horizon past 10:00 PM in Stockholm. The city is 1 hour ahead of London and 6 hours ahead of New York.

Did you know? Sweden is home to some of the world's most productive remote workers, and Stockholm's tech scene (home to Spotify, King, Klarna, and Mojang/Minecraft) benefits from CET because it overlaps well with both US East Coast afternoons and Asian mornings. Stockholm startups often hold meetings at 8:00 AM to catch Singapore in the early afternoon and have evening calls with New York.
