Clocks turned back an hour: winter time begins on Sunday
Published
Winter time begins in Finland early on Sunday morning. At 4.00 in the morning, clocks will be turned back one hour, so it will then be 3.00. Because of this, the night becomes one hour longer.
Clocks are always changed on the last Sunday of October. The switch from summer time to winter time means that the days feel shorter and the evening gets dark earlier. Many people notice the change in the first few days, because their sleep rhythm changes slightly.
In addition, the clock is not the only thing worth checking. Many people also check the batteries in their home smoke alarms during this time. When changing the clocks, it is also good to remember other devices where the time does not change by itself.
Winter time lasts until spring. Then the clocks are moved forward again by an hour and summer time begins.
