Winter Time Begins in Europe: Clocks Will Be Turned Back One Hour
Published
Winter time is officially beginning in Europe. Clocks will be turned back one hour at 03:00 on the night connecting 24 October and 25 October. With this change, days will become shorter and the mornings will get light earlier.
The winter time practice is a continuation of the summer time practice, which was introduced years ago to make better use of daylight during the summer months. Many European countries turn their clocks back during the last week of October each year to switch to the winter period. Therefore, the change will take place on the same date in many European countries.
In Türkiye, however, the situation is different. Türkiye abandoned the summer and winter time practice in 2016 and has been using the same time zone throughout the year. For this reason, clocks in Türkiye will not be turned back during this period. In our country, the time will continue unchanged throughout the year.
In conclusion, the winter time practice beginning in Europe on 25 October will not directly affect Türkiye, but people traveling to European countries or doing business with them will need to pay attention to the time difference.
