Time in Canada

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.

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.

The European Parliament decides whether to cancel the daylight saving time. MEPs are expected to call on the commission to propose abolition of the change of summer and winter time, which is done twice a year. The biggest controversy is what time to choose - summer or winter. Finland, Poland and Estonia are among the EU Member States who are strongly lobbying to stop moving the clocks.

Daylight Saving Time in Turkey will end on Nov. 8, two weeks after the rest of the world switched its clocks back. Clocks across the country will be turned back by one hour at 4 a.m., which will then become 3 a.m. on Sunday morning, Nov. 8. 

Clocks across Turkey were put forward to Daylight Saving Time for an hour on March 29 to save electricity.
