Windows are read on the Istanbul clock, the clock the research is measured on. A countdown is the same number on any clock, so these hold while you read them in Brussels.

How many hours ahead is Brussels of Istanbul?

Brussels is 1 hour behind Istanbul this week: GMT+2 against GMT+3.

Why do the times differ between Brussels and Istanbul?

Brussels, Belgium (GMT+2) is 1 hour behind Istanbul, Turkey (GMT+3).

How is this conversion worked out?

Istanbul runs on Europe/Istanbul (GMT+3) and Brussels on Europe/Brussels (GMT+2), a difference of 1 hour this week. The peak hours themselves are measured in Istanbul local time, and that figure never moves. What moves is the reading on your own clock, twice a year, when either place changes for daylight saving. The two places do not always change on the same date, so for a couple of weeks each spring and autumn the difference is an hour off its usual value; that is why these pages are rebuilt every week rather than computed once.

Does any platform peak on a different day in Brussels?

No platform's best slot crosses midnight between Istanbul and Brussels, so the day of the week is the same on both clocks. Converted times use the offsets in force this week (GMT+2 and GMT+3). The audience-clock column never changes; the converted column is rebuilt weekly so it stays right across daylight-saving changes. The same times apply across Istanbul's timezone, including Ankara.
