with one further-western zone containing the <a href="/wiki/Azores" title="Azores">Azores</a>, and one further-eastern zone spanning the <a href="/wiki/Ural_(region)" title="Ural (region)">Ural</a> regions of Russia and European part of <a href="/wiki/Kazakhstan" title="Kazakhstan">Kazakhstan</a>). Most European countries use summer time and harmonise their summer time adjustments; see <a href="/wiki/Summer_time_in_Europe" title="Summer time in Europe">Summer time in Europe</a> for details. </p><p>The time zones actually in use in Europe differ significantly from uniform zoning based purely on longitude, as used for example under the <a href="/wiki/Nautical_time" title="Nautical time">nautical time</a> system. The world could in theory be divided into 24 time zones, each spanning 15 degrees of longitude. However, due to geographical and cultural factors, it is not practical to divide the world so evenly, and actual time zones may differ significantly from those based purely on longitude. In Europe, the widespread use of Central European Time (CET) causes major variations in some areas from <a href="/wiki/Solar_time" title="Solar time">solar time</a>. Based on solar time, CET would range from 7.5 to 22.5°E. However, for example Spain (almost entirely in the Western hemisphere) and France (almost entirely west of 7.5°E, as illustrated in the map below) should theoretically use UTC, as they did before the Second World War.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The general result is a solar noon which is much later than clock noon, and later sunrises and sunsets than should theoretically happen. The Benelux countries should also theoretically use GMT. </p><p>Russia and Belarus observed "permanent summer time" between March 2011 and October 2014.<sup id="cite_ref-Guardian_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Guardian-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Since October 2014 Russia has observed "permanent winter time". Iceland can be considered to be on "<i>de facto</i>" permanent summer time because, since 1968, it has used UTC time all year, despite being located more than 15° west of the prime meridian.
