Daylight saving time in the United States

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.

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
