Greece Switches Clock to Daylight Savings Time on Sunday

Greece will set its clock one hour forward on March 27, 2022, Sunday,  to observe the Daylight Saving Time. From 03:00, the clocks will be forwarded to 4:00.

Greece is only one of the many countries that observe DST, even though some people are not in favour of it. 

In the last three years, the European Parliament has voted to ditch the yearly tradition of changing clocks. Daylight Saving Time happens twice a year, and they change the clocks by an hour during spring and autumn. Since people have opposing opinions about the twice-a-year custom, the national government hasn't decided to abolish it entirely. 

Aside from Greece, Daylight Saving Time occurs in most US states and territories. The only state and territories that do not observe DST include Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and Northern Mariana Island. This year, most participating US states began Daylight Saving Time at 02:00 on March 8, Sunday. But others like Greece will follow this tradition on Sunday.
