The night on Sunday will be an hour longer, daylight saving time ends
This weekend, summer time ends and standard Central European Time (CET) begins, with clocks moving back one hour. The change affects public transport schedules, particularly night trains and buses, which will wait an hour at stations. Experts warn of increased accident risks due to earlier darkness and reduced visibility. The Czech government has approved time changes for the next five years, maintaining summer time from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Public opinion is divided on the time switch, with some favoring a permanent standard time. The practice of daylight saving time began in the early 20th century for energy savings, which are now minimal. Electronic devices typically adjust automatically, but some clocks require manual resetting.
