Central Africa Time, or CAT, is a time zone used in central and southern Africa. Central Africa Time is two hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+02:00), which is the same as the adjacent South Africa Standard Time (SAST) and also the same as Eastern European Time (EET) during the winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST) during the summer.
