Question: What Time Is It in Norway?
Let's find out what time it is in Norway, and if/when Norway changes clocks for Daylight Saving Time...
Answer: Norway is on Central European Time (CET) which is GMT +1 (one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time), just like the rest of the European Union.
Norway changes clocks to summer time (Daylight Saving Time) on on the last Sunday in March and goes back to normal time on the last Sunday in October. They follow the European Community by doing so. Thus, in the summer months, clocks in Norway spring one hour forward, resulting in an official time of GMT +2.
