Day: In Albania, like many European countries, Daylight Saving Time (DST) typically ends on the last Sunday in October. On this day, clocks are set back by one hour at 3:00 AM local time, which becomes 2:00 AM.
History: The practice of DST is believed to have been first proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 but was not widely adopted until the 20th century. The idea behind DST is to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer. Albania has followed the daylight saving schedule set by the European Union.
Traditions: There are no specific traditions associated with the end of Daylight Saving Time in Albania. It is a modern practice rather than a cultural or historical event.
What People Do: When DST ends, people generally enjoy an extra hour of sleep on that particular night. As there are no special celebrations tied to this day, it is often business as usual for most individuals. However, it signals a time adjustment for various activities and can affect scheduling in sectors like transportation and broadcasting.
It's important for residents and visitors to remember to adjust their clocks to avoid any inconvenience caused by the time change.
