Daylight Saving Time Ends in Andorra

Daylight Saving Time (DST) in Andorra typically ends on the last Sunday of October, when clocks are turned backward by one hour at 3:00 AM to 2:00 AM. This marks the transition from Central European Summer Time (CEST) to Central European Time (CET), providing an extra hour of sleep for residents.

History and Traditions:

  • The concept of DST was first proposed by George Hudson in 1895 and was later widely adopted during World War I and II to save energy.
  • Andorra, like many other European countries, began observing DST during the 20th century.
  • There are no specific traditions associated with the end of DST in Andorra. It is a modern practice rather than a cultural or historical celebration.

Activities on the Day:

  • People usually take advantage of the additional hour to rest.
  • Some may use the time change as a reminder to perform seasonal tasks such as changing batteries in smoke detectors or adjusting home heating systems.
  • As it gets darker earlier in the evening, outdoor activities may be adjusted accordingly.

Andorrans, along with many others across Europe, experience this time shift as part of an effort to make better use of daylight and conserve energy. However, discussions about the efficacy and continuation of DST are ongoing both within Europe and around the world.
