On the night of Saturday, Sunday, October 25, at exactly 4 o’clock, all clocks in Lithuania must be turned back one hour. We will seriously live the winter time introduced until the last Sunday in March. However, the rotation of time continues to cause much controversy not only in Lithuania, but also throughout the European Union (EU).
The time is changed twice a year in accordance with the Directive of the European Parliament (EP) and of the Council on summer-winter agreements. Most of the countries of the Old Continent and many other countries of the world have seasonal hours.
This year, the clocks still need to be turned: the European Parliament’s decision on seasonal time has been postponed until 2021, but in 2020. Following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the spring and ongoing Brexit negotiations, the issue has been postponed for the time being. However, it is expected that a turnaround will not be necessary from 2021.
It is proposed that the last time that clocks in EU countries that choose summer time be turned on on the last Sunday in March 2021, and those wishing to keep winter time on the last Sunday in October 2021.
Delfi recalls that winter and summer hours were introduced to make better use of daylight hours, but critics say alternating schedules can be harmful to health. Geographically, one fifth of Lithuania (western part) belongs to the first time zone, the rest of the country to the second.
