When will the 2023 summer time change? Is changing the clocks necessary?

In March there is a change from winter to summer time. As many as 70 countries will have to change their time, which is associated with huge costs, eg in transport. For many years there has been a discussion on the sense of changing the time. Is it necessary? When exactly should the clocks be changed?

Every year in March, we move the clocks from 2:00 to 3:00. Then the days will become longer, which for many is the final confirmation of the coming spring. Is the time change necessary? Is there any chance we will stay permanently during summer time?

When is the 2023 time change? We are switching from winter to summer time

The March 2023 time change falls on Sunday night from March 25 to 26. For those who like to sleep longer, we do not have good news, because we move the hands forward a full hour, i.e. from 2:00 to 3:00. So we sleep less, but it will be longer, and we will be able to enjoy the natural sunlight.

Is the time change necessary? What is the attitude of the European Union to the matter?

In Poland, the time change is still in force, although there are more and more voices talking about staying in summer time permanently. In 2022, IBRiS asked Poles about their attitude to time change. It turned out that the vast majority of respondents were against it. To the question: “In your opinion, should the change to winter/summer time be abolished?”, 47.2% of the respondents answered “definitely yes”, and 29.8% think that “rather yes”. has been discussed in the European Parliament since 2018. The time change in the European Union is defined by the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 January 2001 on summer time arrangements. However, no work is underway in Brussels to abolish the time change, and according to the current law, we will change the clocks at least until 2026.
