 | Daylight Saving Time in Spain |
The clocks change twice a year. Find out when, and how Spain's time relates to the rest of the world.
In 1996 the European Union (EU) standardized an EU-wide Summertime, or Daylight
Saving Time (DST).
The EU's version of Daylight Savings runs from the last Sunday
in March (when the clocks go forward by an hour) through to the last Sunday in
October (when they go back by an hour).
- In 2009 clocks went forward by one hour on the night of 28-29 March
- They go back again on the night of 24-25 October
- In 2010 clocks go forward by one hour on the night of 27-28 March
If dealing with other countries, it can be helpful to know how the different
varieties of DST (for those countries that use the system) map on to each other. Most countries adjust their clocks at some time between
midnight and 03:00.
Note: Many countries and territories change days of transitions to DST from year to year
and some do not employ it every year.
