Clock

Last night, Bulgaria switched to winter (standard) time, which happens every year on the last Sunday in October. This means that clocks were set one hour back (from 4:00 to 3:00), resulting in a day that is an hour longer.

All modern computers, phones, smartphones, and electronic clocks automatically adjust to the new time. However, analog clocks need to be manually set.

Clocks are going back one hour to Standard Time from summer Daylight Savings Time this Sunday, October 27.

At 4 a.m. on Sunday morning, clocks must therefore be set back one hour to read 3 a.m. in the morning.

Counting down the time for time change. Sunday 27 October is the end of the daylight saving time measure, in accordance with a directive of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU.

Clocks will go back one hour, from 04:00am to 03:00am

Why do we adjust the clocks?

The time change for the winter of 2024-2025 is approaching, marking the end of daylight saving time.

On Sunday, October 27, 2024, clocks will be turned back one hour, from 4:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m., giving us an extra hour of sleep. This change follows the European Union directive on daylight saving time.

On October 27, election day in Bulgaria, clocks will be set back one hour as the country transitions to winter time. This means that voters will enjoy an extra hour of sleep on that day.

While smartphones, tablets, and computers will automatically adjust to the new time, some devices may require manual changes.

This Sunday, October 29, Bulgaria switches to winter time. At 4 a.m., clocks must be set back one hour.

Clocks in Greece should be set forward by one hour from 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. on Sunday morning (March 26), as daylight saving begins, the Interior Ministry announced on Tuesday.
