CHANGE OF TIME AT NIGHT FROM SATURDAY OCTOBER 27TH TO SUNDAY OCTOBER 28TH

The change of time will occur at night from Saturday, October 27th to Sunday, October 28th. The Time will shift from 3:00 to 2:00.

Why does the time change?

The shift of time was primarily set with the intention to save electric energy. Thanks to the shift,

daylight is available for longer during person’s regular daily activities, and thus the need to use

artificial light is reduced. In addition, this adjustment has a positive influence on person’s

mentality and their biorhythm. Summer time was first introduced during World War I. At that

time, electricity was very expensive and insufficient and when the sun was shining until late in the evening, great energy savings were achieved

Summer time is used in the European Union and other countries of the world such as the USA or Canada or in the Southern Hemisphere. In the countries in the European Union, time shift occurs on the same day, that is the last Sunday in March and October.
