That’s wrong or at least not normally how the term “time zone” is used. We would typically say that Sweden is in one time zone whose offset changes twice a year.


so CEST is what?



An offset from UTC.

Wikipedia calls it "the standard clock time observed during the period of summer daylight-saving in those European countries which observe Central European Time (CET; UTC+01:00) during the other part of the year."

Note the word "zone" does not appear in the above.
