Summer Time Change in 2025: When Does It Start?

When Does Daylight Saving Time 2025 Start? March 29th One Hour Forward on March 30th

In Europe, the clocks change on the last Sunday of March. For 2025, summer time will begin on the night between March 29 and March 30, at 2 AM. At this time, the clocks will be set forward one hour. This marks the switch from winter time (Central European Time - CET) to summer time (Central European Summer Time - CEST or Daylight Saving Time - DST).

This change is designed to help Europe use daylight more efficiently. In the Netherlands, this means longer evenings with more daylight but darker mornings.
