Current time in EET
EET is UTC+2, used across Finland, Greece, Romania, eastern Europe. The clock below runs at that offset rather than at any one city's local time, because an abbreviation names an offset: when the region switches for the summer, the city moves and EET stays where it is.

Finland, Greece, Romania, eastern Europe is not on EET at the moment, so local time there is currently an hour away from this clock. The offset itself does not change: EET is always UTC+2.

How it works
The offset comes from the IANA time zone database rather than a table we typed out, read through the Europe/Helsinki entry, so it follows the same data your operating system uses and cannot drift out of date on its own.
EET and EEST are the two halves of the same region's year. Clocks move between them on the changeover dates; the offsets themselves never move.
Frequently asked questions
Does EET change with daylight saving?
No. EET is always UTC+2; what changes is which regions are using it. Finland, Greece, Romania, eastern Europe switches to its other abbreviation for part of the year, and a clock in that region moves with the switch while EET stays put.
Does EET mean only one thing?
Here, yes: these letters map to one offset, UTC+2, used by Finland, Greece, Romania, eastern Europe. That is not true of every abbreviation, which is why the safe habit for scheduling is to write the offset or the IANA zone name alongside the letters.
How do I convert a meeting time into EET?
Use the timezone converter linked above: pick the source zone and read the result. Doing it in your head is where mistakes come from, because you have to remember both sides' switch dates as well as the offsets, and the two hemispheres do not switch on the same weekends.
