Clocks to be moved one hour forward tonight to end winter time

End of winter time to introduce Daylight saving time ends at 3.00 am on Sunday, March 29, as watches and clocks must be moved forward by one hour.

Likewise, summer time will end on Sunday, October 25, 2020.

European countries introduced summertime arrangements in the last century to save energy, particularly in times of war or during the oil crisis of the 1970s. 

On March 27, 2019, the European parliament voted to scrap the twice-yearly custom of changing the clocks by 2021.
