Daylight saving time, also known as summer time, is the practice of advancing clocks from March until October, so that darkness falls at a later clock time. It does not, of course, create an extra hour of daylight.
Daylight Saving Time was introduced as a temporary measure during World War I, as a way of conserving energy and providing more usable hours of daylight. Germany was the first to start using it, in 1916. The U.K. followed a few weeks later, and France and the U.S. followed suit. Today, approximately 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. Japan, India, and China are the only major industrialized countries that do not observe some form of daylight saving.
The European parliament voted to scrap the hour change in 2019, and a poll showed that most EU citizens agreed. But the change has yet to be implemented
The next clock change in Cyprus will be on March 26th, 2023 at 03:00 to Daylight Saving Time. The clocks are then set one hour forward.
