Changing Clocks: The Start of Daylight Saving Time and Ongoing EU Debates
March 27, 2026
On the morning of March 29th, the clocks will move forward for the start of daylight saving time. This change has sparked intense discussions within the European Union, with 84% of citizens supporting the abolition of the hour change. The debate continues without consensus among member states. Arguments for abolishing it include health and well-being concerns, while some favor extended daylight in the evenings. For now, EU countries will continue to change the time twice a year.
