Don't forget: clocks will be set back this Sunday at dawn
Published
Residents of Hungary should prepare for an important change this weekend. On the last Sunday of October, i.e., Sunday, October 25, at dawn, daylight saving time will end, and we will return to winter time.
The exact time for the clock change is 3:00 a.m. At this time, clocks must be set back by one hour, meaning the time will change from 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. In practice, this means we get to sleep for one extra hour on Sunday night.
Although most smartphones, computers, and modern digital devices perform the adjustment automatically, everyone will need to manually adjust traditional, analog clocks. It is worth preparing for this in advance so that no one is caught by surprise on Sunday morning.
The clock change can also affect transportation and train schedules. In rail transport, special rules apply to the changeover for night services, so anyone traveling at dawn on Sunday should check the official MÁV website in advance.
Although the abolition of the clock change has been a topic of discussion in the European Union for years, for the time being, the semi-annual switch remains mandatory in all member states, including Hungary. Winter time will remain in effect until next spring, the last Sunday of March.
