Cape Verde Time. Cape Verde Time (CVT) is a time zone used by the Atlantic island nation of Cape Verde. The zone is one hour behind UTC (UTC???01:00). This time zone applies all the year round. Due to its geographical location, completely west of the meridian 22??30'W (which forms the boundary between UTC???01:00 and UTC???02:00) Cape Verde effectively observes permanent daylight saving, given that the position of the archipelago is totally within the boundaries of UTC???02:00, the time zone observed until 1975.
