Home > European Summer Time

European Summer Time is the daylight saving time practiced in Europe, the period during which clocks are advanced by one hour in relation to the official time observed during the rest of the year.

This is done in all of the countries of Europe except Iceland (which observes UTC all year round), and has also been prescribed by a directive of the European Union.

This period extends from 01.00 UTC on the last Sunday in March until 01.00 UTC on the last Sunday in October each year.
