The clocks in 2025 change as follows:

  • In most of Europe (including Central Europe/Germany), the clocks go forward 1 hour to summer time (Daylight Saving Time) on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at 2:00 a.m. (clocks move to 3:00 a.m.).
  • The clocks go back 1 hour to standard time (winter time) on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 3:00 a.m. (clocks move back to 2:00 a.m.).
  • In the United States, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and ends at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in November. For 2025, DST ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025, when clocks fall back one hour at 2:00 a.m.

In summary:

  • Spring forward: last Sunday in March (March 30, 2025, in Europe)
  • Fall back: last Sunday in October (October 26, 2025, in Europe); first Sunday in November (November 2, 2025, in the US)
