Daylight Saving Time (DST) in North Macedonia typically ends on the last Sunday in October when clocks are set back one hour, reverting to Central European Time (CET). This transition is at 3:00 AM local daylight time, which becomes 2:00 AM local standard time.
The practice of DST has been implemented in various forms since the early 20th century. The idea is to make better use of daylight during the evenings by setting the clocks an hour ahead of standard time. In North Macedonia, as in many other European countries, this was adopted to save energy and to align with European Union practices.
There are no specific traditions associated with the end of Daylight Saving Time in North Macedonia. It is a modern change rather than a cultural event.
On this day, people generally enjoy an extra hour of sleep due to the "falling back" of time. Although it's not a public holiday or event marked by specific activities, individuals might use the extra hour for personal leisure or catch up on rest. Some may also take this opportunity to replace batteries in smoke detectors and perform other household maintenance tasks that are traditionally done at the time change.
It's important for residents and visitors alike to remember to set their clocks back to avoid confusion with appointments or schedules on this day.
