‘Summer Time’ or ‘Daylight Saving Time’ will end at 04:00 on Sunday 26th October.
At that point clocks will go back one hour, to 03:00.
The history of Daylight Saving Time goes back quite a long way but was largely imposed by the USA and UK during WW1 and again in WW2, since when it has been accepted in many countries. It is argued that it gives more daylight in the evenings. Many farmers have long been against the idea of DST, particularly the spring shift, as crops and cattle do not observe any changes from the actual solar cycle.
The changes to the clocks are not uniform, although Cyprus changes in accordance with UTC (formerly known as GMT) as does the rest of the EU. Canada and the USA, with some exceptions, such as Arizona and Hawaii, end Summer Time on the first Sunday in November (2nd November this year).
Australia, in the southern hemisphere, has already started their Summer Time on 5th October this year.
