Day: Daylight Saving Time (DST) in Cuba typically begins at midnight between the second Saturday and Sunday in March, when clocks are moved forward by one hour to 1:00 AM. The specific date changes each year.
History: Cuba first adopted DST in 1928, but over the years, the practice has been discontinued and reinstated multiple times. It is currently used to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer, thus conserving energy by reducing the need for artificial lighting in the evening hours.
Traditions: Unlike some countries where DST transitions are accompanied by particular traditions or events, in Cuba, there are no specific customs associated with the start of Daylight Saving Time. It is mainly regarded as a practical change.
What People Do: Cubans typically prepare for DST by setting their clocks ahead one hour before going to bed on the night of the changeover. This shift may affect various schedules and activities, so individuals might plan accordingly for any timing adjustments required for work, transportation, or social events. Public awareness campaigns are usually conducted to remind citizens of the upcoming time change.
