In two weeks we have to change the time. What is the exact date?

Do you know the exact date to change the time in winter? In two weeks, Cubans residing in this country, where there is numerous migration, will have to change the time of their watches. When is it Cuba and Miami‘s turn?

With the arrival of autumn, one of the most characteristic actions of the year is repeated: the change of time. This small alteration to watches, although it may seem insignificant, has an impact on people and the economy.

According to officials, the adjustment to winter time aims to make better use of natural light and optimize energy consumption.

When does the time change in Spain? In 2024, the time change is scheduled for the early hours of Sunday, October 27. At 3:00 in the morning, the clocks must be turned back one hour, returning at 2:00.

In the case of the Canary Islands, the change will occur one hour earlier: at 2:00 it will be 1:00. This practice is part of a common regulation in the European Union (EU), which establishes a unified date and time for the change to winter time.

Date to change the time in Spain, Cuba and Miami

Thanks to technology, most electronic devices, such as mobile phones, computers and other devices connected to the internet, will adjust the time automatically, saving users from having to make the change manually.

However, analog clocks or those that are not connected will require a manual update to ensure the time is synchronized correctly. It is advisable to check all devices, especially if you depend on alarms or agendas synchronized with the schedule, to avoid possible confusion when waking up.

And in Cuba and Miami? The next time change in Cuba is scheduled for Sunday November 3 2024 at 1:00 am local time. At this time, clocks should be turned back one hour, marking the start of winter time. The same thing will happen in Miami, at the same time and day.

The debate about the benefits and harms of these time changes is still open, with arguments both in favor of energy savings and against them, due to the possible adverse effects on health.
