Understanding the +0h Gap: Amsterdam vs Poland
Amsterdam runs on Central European Summer Time (CEST) at UTC+02:00, currently observing daylight saving time. Poland runs on Central European Summer Time (CEST) at UTC+02:00, also currently on daylight saving time. That puts Amsterdam no time difference Poland — a difference of +0h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Amsterdam it is 9:00 AM in Poland. Midnight in Amsterdam is 12:00 AM in Poland. Because both zones shift for daylight saving, the gap between them only changes during the few weeks each year when their transition dates differ.
