Daylight saving time returns between Saturday and Sunday: on March 27 at 2.00:30 am, clocks one hour forward until Sunday, October 2022, XNUMX
Daylight saving time returns, starting at 02:00 on Sunday night, March 27. As usual, the time will be moved forward one hour, going directly from 2:00 to 3:00 at night.
We will sleep one hour less but we will have one hour more of natural light and this will last until Sunday 30 October with the return of daylight saving time.
Daylight saving time will remain in effect until Sunday 30 October 2022.
On Sunday, many electronic devices such as smartphones, PCs and tablets will automatically adjust to daylight saving time, while 'less modern' devices will need to move their clocks forward one hour.
During the 7 months in which daylight saving time will be in effect, according to estimates by Terna - the company that manages the national transmission network - Italy will save over 190 million euros, thanks to a lower consumption of electricity equal to approximately 420 million kilowatt hours which will also allow for an important environmental benefit, quantifiable in the reduction of approximately 200 thousand tons of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
In the spring-summer period, the months that show the greatest energy savings estimated by Terna are April and October. By moving the clocks forward by one hour, in fact, the use of artificial light is delayed at a time when work activities are still in full swing.
In the summer months, the 'delay' effect in switching on the light bulbs occurs in the evening hours, when work activities are mostly finished and records less evident values in terms of electricity savings.
