Time zone reference
Brussels
Europe/Brussels is an IANA time-zone identifier currently displaying an offset of UTC+02:00 and the abbreviation CEST. Daylight-saving time is active at the profile generation time. The next detected offset transition is 2026-10-25T02:19:30+01:00. Civil-time rules can change after government announcements, and historical coverage is less complete before 1970; applications should use an updated tzdb release rather than hard-coded offsets.
