EU might end DST Permanently

by

DST just ended in London ~ possibly for the last time!

Brexit isn’t enough change for London and the EU

Daylight Saving time might change in the EU too.

All joking aside, the EU Might End DST Permanently

On Oct 28, 2018 Daylight Saving Time Ended in London
In the early hours of Sunday October 28, 2019 residents turned back their clocks one hour (usually done before sleep or at 2:00 officially).
When you “fall back” on the clocks, it is like gaining a magical hour in your day.
There will be more light in the morning in England and Ireland for a short while, as the Sunrise continues to get later in the day until Winter Solstice.
Sunrise and sunset were about 1 hour earlier on Oct 28, 2018 than the day before. 
 
This could be Europe’s last coordinated time change from Daylight Saving Time (DST) to standard time, clocks in many European countries will be turned back by one hour in October.

Conscious Calendars gives you Universal Time Zone for all New and Full Moons right on the calendar, including, London and other locations around the world
In the summer in England, the UK and Ireland use BST or British Summer Time. Many people have asked me to please post their time zones on the Conscious Calendars. The UK and Ireland have their time zones right ON the calendar (BST or UTC/GMT in winter).

I have been posting UTC or Universal Time (the old GMT for a decade now). If you are in the UK or Ireland you might not have realized that the time zone got a name-lift years ago.
GMT is only a local time zone for the UK now in Winter time.
Plus, Good news! Your LOCAL time now shows at the top of your Welcome Area Page in Conscious Calendars

European Union might end DST permanently in 2019

“Next year may be the last time Europeans set their clocks forward 1 hour, as the EU considers scrapping DST permanently in 2019. The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union (EU), has recently pushed to end the yearly clock changes in Europe.

If the initiative is successful, the last EU-wide DST period will start on Sunday, March 31, 2019. Each member state would then have the chance to decide if they stay on “summer time” (DST) year-round or change their clocks once more on Sunday, October 27, 2019 to observe permanent standard time in subsequent years. In that case, the upcoming time change would be the last joint switch from DST to standard time in Europe.

For this reason, all subsequent clock changes in European countries are now marked as preliminary on timeanddate.com.”  from TimeandDate
