The long-awaited change of time, which was introduced in the European Union in 1966, is approaching. switching to solar time this year it is set for the night between Saturday 26 October and Sunday 27 October 2024. At 3 am, the hands will be put back one hour, therefore going from 3 to 2. With this transition, we fully enter the autumn-winter period.
The days will have one hour less of daylight during the day since the sun will obviously set one hour earlier. The days will become one hour shorter.
Once upon a time, all watches had to be updated, but now all digital devices such as cell phones, smartwatches, PCs, tablets, consoles, update automatically. The situation is obviously different for analog devices.
Advantages and disadvantages of daylight saving time
What are the delivery times? advantages e disadvantages of this change that has been present in Europe for over 50 years? Summer daylight saving time was introduced because it allows for an extra hour of light in the evenings during the warm months. At a national level, there is a saving of about 0,2% on electricity consumption. However, if daylight saving time remained all year round, there would be darker mornings and fewer hours of light in the morning. According to researchers, there may be disturbances due to this change, including stress, interrupted sleep, and repercussions on concentration. This is precisely why the discussion is underway in Europe. It is mainly the Northern European countries that are asking Europe to abolish solar time. These states argue that moving the clocks twice a year would cause some problems for the psycho-physical state of people. Italy, like most other European countries, has not yet expressed itself and has not yet taken a position on the matter. For now, the change is being made.
