About Daylight Savings in the European Union
Eastern Europe , European Countries
United Kingdom & Ireland
Ends: Oct 27, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND UNITED KINGDOM
Daylight Savings in the European Union commences on the last Sunday of March (spring forward) and ends on the last Sunday of October (fall back). Russia, Iceland, and Belarus do not observe Daylight Savings, but Western Ukraine does.
The saying, “spring forward, fall back,” is an excellent way to remember, and it works in the northern and southern hemispheres as the seasons reverse. Today Europeans move the clock one-hour back to 2 AM in October or one hour ahead in March at 2 AM on Sunday.
American Benjamin Franklin was the first to propose daylight savings time (DST) in 1784, and modern DST commenced in 1895. Throughout history, several variations of daylight savings ranged from 30 minutes to two hours.
Only some nations observe DST, which can make setting appointments very challenging. The primary purpose of DST is to make better use of daylight hours for farming, early morning activities (such as children walking to school in daylight rather than darkness), and saving energy.
The closer one lives to the north and south poles, the longer the period of daylight in the summer months.
