Time change 2020 – Winter time: In almost 20 days, it will be time to turn our clocks back one hour.
As always, the … winter relocation will take place. in the early hours of the last Sunday in October.
This year, this Sunday is October 25, when the clock hands will go back one hour.
The next time change will possibly take place in March 2021.
And we say possibly already that the plenary of the European Parliament has decided to abolish the time change in 2021.
According to the decision of the European Parliament, the time change must stop on the last Sunday of March 2021 for the countries of the European Union, which want to maintain summer time permanently, while for the Member States that want the daylight saving time. winter, the change will take place on the last Sunday of October 2021.
The measure of the change in time has the main advantage of energy saving. In total, during the seven summer months we save 210 hours of electricity by taking advantage of the sun.
In the 1970s, under the influence of the oil crisis, most European countries tried to make the most of daylight.
Since 1996 there has been a single pan-European regulation, during which we set the clocks forward one hour in the spring (to take advantage of daylight an hour more), while in the autumn we set them back one hour.
Summer and winter time in Greece
In Greece, the time change was applied for the first time, on a trial basis, in 1932 and specifically from July 6 to September 1, 1932, where the clocks were advanced one hour.
The time change, which was originally adopted for energy saving reasons and is also valid in countries like the United States (in France since 1976), has provoked strong reactions for years.
Its critics cite scientific research that links the change over time with diseases of the cardiovascular or immune system due to the interruption of the biological cycle, and argue that no further energy savings are observed.
