Clocks changed: This is how summer time begins in Germany!
On the night of March 30, 2025, the clocks in Europe will be set forward again by one hour and daylight saving time begins. Until this point, normal Central European Time applies. The situation is particularly exciting in the USA, where daylight saving time is already observed on the second Sunday in March, i.e. on March 9, 2025. That night the clocks were set forward one hour and the time difference to Central Europe is now only five hours to New York and eight hours to Los Angeles. These different time rules show the variations in how the time change is handled in different regions, such as OE24 reported.
While the US states observe daylight saving time, there is discussion in Europe about abolishing the time change. There are efforts in this direction in the EU, but no corresponding decision has yet been made. Meanwhile, the time change has proven successful in the United States, although President Trump has considered abolishing it, saying daylight saving time is "inconvenient and very costly for our country." However, this remains to be seen, as current time regulations dictate the change, as well Schulferien.org recorded.
Daylight saving time has a far-reaching impact on people's everyday lives, but the current trend shows that abolition is being considered, although no concrete action has yet been taken. While some countries like the US are changing their clocks, Europe is taking a different course that may soon lead to changes.
