EU Winter Time: Don't forget! Clocks go back 1 hour on Sunday in most of Europe

It's that time of year again – as autumn has hit the EU and winter is approaching, clocks go back one hour in the night between Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

As a result of the change, it will be light earlier in the morning – a welcome change for early risers – but darkness will also fall earlier in the evening.

Within the EU, clocks always go forward for daylight saving time on the last Sunday in March, to go back on the last Sunday in October. Elsewhere in the world, other daylight saving time regimes apply, while many countries do no use this practice at all.

Discussions have also frequently arisen in Europe over the usefulness of changing the clocks with the seasons. While some argue that this enables to save electricity, especially during daylight saving time, this has not been proven true by independent studies.

So who knows, the practice might also be abolished in the EU one day?

Poetry: 'Summer' by Amy Lowell (1912)

As Europe experiences a hot summer this poem by Amy Lowell (1912) certainly will bring relief to the mind

"Some men there are who find in nature all
Their inspiration, hers the sympathy
Which spurs them on to any great endeavor,
To them the fields and woods are closest friends,
And they hold dear communion with the hills;
The voice of waters soothes them with its fall,
And the great winds bring healing in their sound."
