Wintertime changeover 2019: date and more info

The summer is clearly over by now and that means the clocks will be changed soon. Our guide gives the date for the winter time changeover 2019 and gives more info.

After all, there is something: the night of the winter time changeover lasts one hour longer.

Many people feel the winter time changeover as the official start of the cold and dark season. This does not make for a good mood, but at least the changeover brings a small advantage.

On this date, the winter time changeover 2019 takes place

Traditionally, winter time is heralded on the last weekend in October. For 2019, this means:

• The changeover takes place in the night from October 26 to 27, 2019 (Saturday to Sunday), at 3 o'clock.
• The clocks are set back by one hour to 2 o'clock. As a result, the night lasts an hour longer - a positive side effect.
• The winter time is valid until the last weekend in March of the following year, in this case until March 29, 2020 at 2 o'clock.

The twice-a-year clock changeover has been discussed for years and often criticized. However, a final abolition has not yet been enforced, so that in 2019 the old pattern applies.
