Daylight saving time ends in Portugal and increases the time difference with Brazil

The end of European summer time occurs this weekend, with clocks set back one hour in Portugal and other EU countries. This transition marks the start of winter time, resulting in shorter days and earlier sunsets. The time difference between Lisbon and Brasília will change from four to three hours after the adjustment. This change may impact Brazilians living in Portugal who have commitments with Brazil. Discussions about abolishing seasonal clock changes in the EU have been ongoing since 2018, with a significant majority of public responses favoring the end of the practice. However, no consensus has been reached among member states.
