About Solna Time Zone
Solna uses the IANA time zone name Europe/Stockholm, the same zone used by Stockholm and most of Sweden. The standard UTC offset is UTC+1, known as Central European Time (CET), and during daylight saving time Solna moves to UTC+2, known as Central European Summer Time (CEST).
Sweden observes daylight saving time on the European schedule. In 2026, clocks move forward on 29 March 2026 and move back on 25 October 2026; more generally, the change happens on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October each year. This matters for remote teams because Solna stays aligned with cities such as Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam, while its time difference with London, New York, Dubai, and Tokyo changes seasonally depending on whether those places also adjust clocks.
Geographically, Solna is part of the Stockholm urban area in eastern Sweden, just north of central Stockholm. Because it shares Europe/Stockholm with the rest of Sweden, there is no domestic time difference between Solna and cities such as Gothenburg, Malmö, Uppsala, or Kiruna. For practical coordination, Solna is typically 1 hour ahead of London in winter, the same time as London for only a brief moment during offset transition mismatches is not standard for full-day scheduling, and usually 6 hours ahead of New York in summer or 7 hours ahead in winter, depending on DST overlap dates.

Time Differences from Solna
Solna’s time difference with other major cities depends on whether Sweden and the comparison city are on standard time or daylight saving time. Because Solna follows Europe/Stockholm, it matches much of continental Europe but shifts relative to countries that do not change clocks on the same dates.
- New York: Solna is usually 6 hours ahead when both locations are on daylight saving time, and 6 hours ahead when both are on standard/winter schedules after the US and Europe settle into their seasonal offsets; around DST transition weeks, temporary differences can occur. When it is 9:00 AM in Solna, it is typically 3:00 AM in New York.
- London: Solna is usually 1 hour ahead of London because Sweden uses CET/CEST while the UK uses GMT/BST. When it is 9:00 AM in Solna, it is usually 8:00 AM in London.
- Tokyo: Solna is usually 8 hours behind Tokyo during Swedish summer time and 8 hours behind when comparing CEST to JST; during Swedish winter under CET, Solna is 8 hours behind JST? Actually the practical difference is 8 hours in summer and 8 hours in winter is not correct for CET/JST—the standard working comparison is 8 hours behind during CEST? The reliable conversion is: when it is 9:00 AM in Solna, it is typically 4:00 PM in Tokyo during CET and 5:00 PM during CEST.
- Sydney: Solna is commonly 8 to 10 hours behind Sydney, depending on whether Europe and New South Wales are on daylight saving time at the same time. When it is 9:00 AM in Solna, it is often 6:00 PM or 7:00 PM in Sydney, making late-afternoon Australia calls one of the more realistic overlap windows.
- Dubai: Solna is usually 2 hours behind Dubai during Swedish winter and 1 hour behind Dubai during Swedish summer, because Dubai stays on UTC+4 all year and does not observe DST. When it is 9:00 AM in Solna, it is 12:00 PM in Dubai in winter or 11:00 AM in Dubai in summer.
For business planning, the easiest overlap for Solna with London is late morning to early afternoon, with Dubai it is mid-morning to early afternoon, and with New York it is usually Solna afternoon. Calls with Tokyo and Sydney often work best in Solna early morning or late afternoon, depending on the other side’s workday.
