In the Faroe Islands, Daylight Saving Time (DST) typically ends on the last Sunday in October, when clocks are set back one hour at 03:00 AM to 02:00 AM local standard time.
Daylight Saving Time was first introduced during World War I and again during World War II as a way to conserve energy. The practice became more standardized in Europe with the European Union's directives, which also affect the Faroe Islands.
The Faroe Islands do not have specific traditions associated with the end of DST. However, like in many other places, this day marks a seasonal change where individuals prepare for the shorter days and longer nights of winter.
On this day, residents typically enjoy an extra hour of sleep due to the time change. People may also take this opportunity to change batteries in smoke detectors and adjust other timekeeping devices. It is also a moment for locals and various businesses to prepare for the winter season ahead by adjusting schedules and planning accordingly.
