Daylight savings: Oct. 30 this year - Topic Powered by eve community

hey Jules.

at first i thought it was this weekend but last week at volleyball, someone told me it was the 30th.

it is usually not the same as in u.s.a. but maybe this year it is?

any dstp-s (daylight savings time pros) out there?

guys, it's always the same as the US in the fall, and always a week earlier here in the spring. Besos, Joy

The European system is: all EU countries make a 1-hour change at the same instant (therefore any differences are constant). It is done
in the early morning of the LAST Sunday in March (forward) and October (back).

Please check the website I referred to earlier as this is no longer the case.

Anyone know if we're making the change tomorrow like the US? I just read somewhere that Europe is not following.

Juliette, it's never been that early!!! This year it's 25th March in Europe

Not heard anything to the contrary, so am presuming it will go ahead as normal!

When we change our clocks

I found this,

Beginning in 2007, most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

In the European Union, Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). It begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.

Daylight Saving Time - When do we change our clocks?

daylight saving - Google Search

Hope that is of use.

Angelo.
