At the end of this week, hours and Spain enter the summer schedule
At the end of this week Time change that The summer schedule will start In Spain. The goal of this change is to make activity hours closer to sunlight hours, although this modification is increasingly interrogated in terms of providing alleged energy.
Thus, in Morning this Saturday to SundayAt 2.00 hours (1.00 hours in the Canary Islands), it will be 3.00 hours (2.00 hours in the Canary Islands). This progress around the clock reduces night comfort, which involves changes in the daily rhythm, as some experts indicate.
In reality, A recent global study In which Professor Dario Akoya, from the University of Granada (UGR), has been alerted Negative The time change has occurred in people’s health.
This research is committed to Maintaining the winter scheduleBeing more balanced, and argues that the differences of light throughout the stations are soft to allow human adaptation and softness Change in the summer timeline.
In daily life, this amendment It will be perceived immediately On the same Sunday, because it will be separated and overwhelmed later. With the progress of the spring, the days, which now have about 12 and a half hours, will be offered to exceed 15 hours.
What are the devices that change automatically
Regarding changing the same time, we must remember that most of their current devices This function is automatically programmed. This is thanks to Protocolo de Reed NTP (network time protocol)Therefore, it is not necessary to be familiar with changing the watch in the case of smartphones, tablets, computers or smart TVs. The same thing does not happen in those devices that are not connected to the Internet – such as wall watches, bracelet, devices or some vehicles – so there will be a watch around the clock manually.
Do you really save energy?
The first time change occurred in Spain in 1918, although this amendment in the hours is a scale of a tree of The oil crisis in the seventiesWhen it was considered a useful measure to save energy. This approach is currently bypassed through many studies, such as those led by the time of the time of the time of the time of the International Organization (TUI), which was favorable to suppress the time that changes and cooperates with the European Parliament in analyzing its effects.
In Spain, the Institute of Diversification and Energy Provides (IDAE) indicated No updated reports Which allows to make sure that changing the watch in our country is associated with energy savings. “The latest data for the year 2015, without any case, has the effect of changing time in the context of such a current analysis,” indicates in European press data.
According to this agency, the latest report on this topic was prepared in 2018 Industry, Research and Energy Committee European Parliament. Details of this research that although seasonal changes can produce savings, these are these It is marginalThere is no certainty that the benefits are obtained in all European Union member states.
In turn, it also affects that although there is energy saving in lighting, It is not clear that the same thing happens with heatingWhere it can be increased consumption. In addition, it indicates that it is difficult to explain the results, because they are affected by external factors, such as meteorology or user behavior.
Why is the time to change
The European Union is responsible for setting a common date and hour for all member states for the beginning and end of the summer schedule. According to the current regulations, which appear to be collected in PCM/186/2022 request From the Bank of England, this summer schedule will be operated until October 26.
According to this document, March 30 and March 29, 2026 are the last dates that were created to implement the summer table, but that This does not mean that since 2026 Go there are time changes.
for now, Everything is the uncertainty in the short termWhile this on Sunday is practically, the entire European continent continues to advance hours, with few exceptions such as Russia, Belarus, Torke or Iceland.
