Question: What Time Is It in Finland?

Let's find out what time it is in Finland, and if/when Finland changes clocks for Daylight Saving Time...

Answer: Finland is on Eastern European Time (EET). Eastern European Time is GMT +2, meaning it is 2 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) or UTC.

Finland 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 Finland spring one hour forward, resulting in an official time of GMT +3.
