Când se trece la ora de iarnă în 2026: De ce România revine la ora standard la 4:00 și nu la miezul nopții

Romania will switch back to standard time on October 25, 2026, at 4:00 AM, reverting from summer time (UTC+3) to Eastern European Time (UTC+2). This change aligns with EU regulations, which dictate that the transition occurs at 1:00 AM UTC. The choice of 4:00 AM for the local time change ensures synchronization across member states, as different countries operate on various time zones. The process avoids complications that would arise from changing the hour at midnight, which could disrupt data recording and transport systems. Discussions about abolishing seasonal time changes are ongoing, but current rules remain in effect until a new decision is made.
