On the night leading into Sunday, clocks will switch to Central European Summer Time (CEST). At 2:00 a.m., all radio-controlled clocks should jump forward to 3:00 a.m., while manual clocks will need to be adjusted by hand. The return to standard time (CET) will take place on the last weekend of October.
Although the EU has officially agreed to abolish daylight saving time, its future remains unclear. The issue still lies with the EU Council of Ministers, specifically the transport ministers.
The European Parliament voted in March 2019 by a large majority to end daylight saving time by 2021—or by 2022 if needed to avoid disruptions to the internal market. However, a majority of EU member states must approve the change for it to take effect. Poland, which currently holds the EU Council presidency, is now surveying other countries’ positions on the proposal. Still, there is little hope for a resolution anytime soon.
