Therefore, this year summer time will end on October 27 and pl. 04.00 (at night from Saturday to Sunday) the hands of the clock must be turned back one hour.
Since a common vision on new conditions regarding the change of time twice a year has not yet been reached at the level of the European Union, the previously approved procedure is currently still in effect. The transition to summer time and back in Latvia is determined by Cabinet of Ministers Regulation No. 1010 of October 26, 2010 "On the transition to summer time".
