<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''UTC+2''', also written as '''UTC+02:00''', is a time offset that is two hours ahead of [[Coordinated Universal Time]]. When it is 12:00 UTC, the local time in a UTC+2 area is 14:00.<br />
<br />
== Use ==<br />
UTC+2 is used as a standard time in several parts of [[Europe]], [[Africa]], and the eastern [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean]] region. It is also used as a daylight saving time offset in areas that normally use [[UTC+1]] during standard time.<br />
<br />
In Europe, UTC+2 is closely associated with [[Central European Summer Time]] and [[Eastern European Time]]. During summer time, countries that normally follow [[Central European Time]] move to UTC+2. Some countries farther east use UTC+2 as their standard time.<br />
<br />
== Time calculation ==<br />
UTC+2 is calculated by adding two hours to Coordinated Universal Time. The offset does not describe a place by itself. It only describes the difference between local time and UTC.<br />
<br />
For example, 08:00 UTC is 10:00 in a UTC+2 area. 23:00 UTC is 01:00 on the next day in a UTC+2 area.<br />
<br />
== Daylight saving time ==<br />
Some regions use UTC+2 only during daylight saving time. In those places, the offset is seasonal and changes when clocks move forward or backward.<br />
<br />
Other regions use UTC+2 throughout the year. In those places, the offset remains the same unless the legal time zone is changed.<br />
