Get ready for daylight saving time this Sunday

As daylight saving time kicks in, clocks will be set one hour ahead on the last Sunday of March, which this year falls on March 30th. The change will occur at 03:00 AM, shifting the time to 04:00 AM, as is customary. Daylight saving time will remain in effect until Sunday, October 26, 2025.

The topic of time changes and daylight-saving time has been a subject of debate within the European Union since 2018. That year, the European Commission proposed the abolition of the biannual time change, suggesting that EU member states should decide whether to adopt permanent daylight-saving time or standard time. However, no consensus has been reached on the issue.

Proponents of abolishing the time change argue that it could lead to better health outcomes and energy savings. On the other hand, supporters of daylight-saving time advocate for longer daylight hours, which they believe would benefit outdoor activities and summer recreation. Despite these differing viewpoints, the discussion remains unresolved, as the pandemic and shifting priorities have delayed any concrete decisions.
