Winter time

On Sunday we will set our clocks back one hour to align with winter time. Proponents of the time change argue that we gain an hour of sleep. However, some believe we lose out in terms of mood and sleep quality due to this change.

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.

Winter time returns on October 27 – Clocks will show 3:00 AM instead of 4:00 AM.

The time change and the start of wintertime is approaching.

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.

On the night of Saturday against Sunday, October 31 at 4 o'clock in the morning we returned to winter time. At 4 o'clock on Sunday night, the clocks were turned back an hour.

In March 2019, the European Parliament voted to abolish the seasonal shift. Member States shall decide whether to switch to full daylight saving time.

This Sunday - March 31, at 3:00 am after midnight, we must move the arrows of our clocks one hour ahead.
 
So our country will go to summer time. It will remain in force until October 26, when we return the clocks clocks to the winter time.

On the last Sunday in October, we moved the clock's arrows one hour back to go to the winter time. In fact, it is the accepted astronomical time, while summer time is extraordinary.

We change the clocks so that we can make the most of daylight to coincide with the active hours of the day, explains Severina Yorgova from the Regional History Museum in Shumen.

Clocks on Sunday will turn back by one hour for the start of Winter Time, in what could be the last time the twice-yearly seasonal clock change is implemented.

The change will happen at 4 a.m., when clocks will turn back to 3 a.m.

Turkey's Education Minister has given the authority to each governor's office in the country to determine school start time in the mornings on their own, asking them to take their province's specific climate and geographical conditions into account so that students can make more use of the daylight.
