Different start and end days of daylight saving , but in the depths of

Change from summertime to wintertime takes place on the same date in all EU countries, during the last weekend in October. So both UK and France put clocks back one hour on the night of Saturday 29th October this year.

In spring, similarly, summertime starts on the same date throughout the EU.
