Fall Back to Standard Time

Night of Saturday, October 24 to Sunday, October 25, 2026

standard time

Falling back means turning your clock back one hour: at 3 a.m. it becomes 2 a.m. The change takes place every year on the last Sunday of October.

Since when has the time change existed?

The origin of this measure dates back to 1907, when Great Britain wanted to combat the waste of daylight.

Advantages and disadvantages of the time change

The benefits of this measure are widely disputed, particularly by the agricultural and construction sectors. The impact on the health of humans and animals is also negative.
