21st Century vs. Middle Ages ?

Good a time as any to remind that, yes, it is the end of British Summer Time - for this year, anyway. Clocks fall back in the early hours of tomorrow morning: 02:00 BST reverts to 01:00 GMT / 04:00 EEST to 03:00 EET.

Time is in Disunited Kingdom / Greece

Plans to abolish clock changes across the European Union in 2021 have been put on hold as a result of the pandemic. In March 2019 the European Parliament approved a proposal stating that seasonal clock changes – spring forward, fall back – would become a thing of the past from next year, but a spokesperson for the Council of the European Union has confirmed that the move is not currently on the agenda.

The spokesperson says that it is very unlikely that the current German presidency of the council will raise the issue again before its term ends in December. It is also unlikely that Portugal or Slovenia, which hold the presidency in 2021, will put seasonal clock changes back on the agenda anytime soon.

That means that the UK will still switch back to GMT at 02:00 on Sunday, October 25. And it will keep switching between GMT and BST for some time yet. Seasonal clock changes will also still take place across Europe, with every member state making the jump at the same time to keep in sync.

It might be a slow process, but the end of daylight savings in Europe is still likely to happen – even if it is delayed by a year or two.
