Bulgaria is going back to standard or winter time on 30 October, 2022, at 4 AM. Clocks should be set back by one hour (e.g. 8 o’clock will be 7 o’clock). This time change means adding one hour to the day. The sun will set earlier and the daylight hours will be shorter. All modern computers, telephones, smartphones and electronic watches make the correction automatically, all watches and clocks with hands need to be corrected by hand.
In September, 2018, the European Commission proposed an end to seasonal time changes, but the decision was postponed indefinitely. Bulgaria has not made a decision yet whether it wants to keep daylight saving time or standard time permanently.
Daylight saving time was first introduced in Bulgaria on 1 April, 1979.
