Overview
- Spain will end daylight saving time in the early hours of Sunday, October 25, when clocks on the peninsula, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla move from 03:00 to 02:00 and the Canary Islands move from 02:00 to 01:00, according to the BOE calendar.
- United States jurisdictions that observe daylight saving time and Mexico’s designated border territories will return to standard time at 02:00 local time on Sunday, November 1, matching schedules confirmed by NIST and CENAM.
- The European Commission has said seasonal clock changes will continue under the current rhythm for at least the next five years, while U.S. and state efforts to adopt permanent time remain dependent on federal action.
- Authorities and experts warn people to check device time‑zone settings because some systems may not update correctly, and sleep specialists note many people may feel 'jet‑lag'‑like effects for several days after the switch.
- The practice dates to 1970s energy policy; government estimates show only modest household energy savings and the discussion now centers on cross‑border coordination and the limited health and economic trade‑offs of keeping twice‑yearly changes.
