Când trece România la ora de iarnă. Ziua în care se dau ceasurile înapoi

Daylight saving time will end on October 25, 2026, when clocks in much of Europe will be set back one hour, marking the return to standard time. This change typically occurs on the last Sunday of October, and in 2026, it will happen on the 25th. The adjustment means an extra hour of sleep for many. The practice of changing the clocks was introduced in Europe during the 1970s to conserve energy, particularly during the 1973 oil crisis. Modern devices often adjust automatically for these changes. Despite ongoing debates about the necessity of seasonal time changes, the current system remains in place, ensuring synchronization with other European countries. Romania has been following this practice since 1917, with a reintroduction in 1979, primarily for energy savings and coordination with European states. Discussions about abolishing seasonal time changes have occurred, but no consensus has been reached among EU member states, so the current system will continue until at least 2026.
