What Time Is It In Europe?
Much of the civilized world went on DayLight Savings Time last Sat night - at least America did - much earlier than before
I think europe goes on DST later - when is it or are Europeans already on Daylight Savings or Energy Savings Time? For me i only hope that extra hour of sunlight helps melt the huge snowpiles outside my door! |
Germany: last weekend in March.
|
Clocks always go forward on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October. So no, we haven't put the clocks forward yet.
|
"Much of the civilized world went on DayLight Savings Time last Sat night" - Are you sure???
|
For me this means I only have to adjust to a five hour time change on the way to Paris next week instead of a six hour one, unless I've confused myself trying to figure it out. So I'm all for it, I think.
|
now that i know europe is as usual behind the times
i'd say ALL of the civilized world has sprung forward - that is unless Oz has not? |
Last time I checked time zones Europe was 5-6 hours ahead of America. Even in we lose 1 hour, we still have a fair advantage.
|
Oh, I can see where this is headed . . . .
Europe and America both cover several time zones. But even if you use the UK as the European measure, parts of America are 7 hours behind at the moment, but other parts are only 3 hours behind (Buenos Aires). Then there's Newfoundland, which is 2 1/2 hours behind. But if we're talking about the civilized world, I think we have yet to see that come to fruition anywhere on the planet as far as I can tell. |
Why would Oz spring forward at the beginning of autumn? Indeed, why would anyone expect ANY system of daylight saving in tropical Australia? Or haven't Americans learned about southern hemisphere seasons?
As you might imagine, though, the non-tropical states in Australia (apart from Tasmania which always has to be different) put their clocks forward when Europe puts theirs back. And put them back when we put them forward. Queensland and NT don't, of course, mess round like this. They keep God's time all year. |

NY is 4 hours behind the UK - as the folk in NY who tried to ring an hour before I arrived at work found out on Monday

flaneur: Wow - so clever in spite of lacking a proper education! I guess OZ should be going off daylight time?
What's this southern hemisphere you speak of? |
frak its 21.04!

"Queensland and NT don't, of course, mess round like this. They keep God's time all year."
LOVE THAT!!!!! :-) |
The USA has an area sometimes referred to as the 'Deep South'. Queensland and the Northern Territory are Australia's 'Deep North'!
|
Some states in the US do not adopt DST at all as I recall. Isn't that the case in Arizona, where confusingly the Navajo nation does adopt it?
