Long summer days are over in Europe and it is time to move to standard time. This will happen on Sunday 28th October 2012.

Time of the change varies according to a time zone but as UTC time it will take place at 1 a.m.

  • On British Summer Time (London), the change will be at 2 a.m.
  • On Western European Summer Time (Lisbon) at 2 a.m.
  • On Central European Summer Time (Milan) at 3 a.m.
  • On Eastern European Summer Time (Athens) at 4 a.m.


The clocks will be moved one hour backward. For example in UK on Sunday morning at 2 a.m. the clocks go back to 1 a.m.

It is recommended by firemen to check smoke alarms when changing clocks. When people are asleep, they cannot smell the smoke. By having a loud and functional smoke alarm placed at various points around the house can alert residents when required.
