Citizens in Egypt are preparing to implement winter time, as it has been decided to delay the clock by a full 60 minutes, starting next Thursday, according to what the government announced. This change comes within the legal procedures related to the official time that the state applies every year, and aims to improve time regulation and save energy.
Implementing winter time in Egypt includes delaying the clock from 12:00 midnight to 11:00 pm on the day of the transition, and the beginning of this time will take place at 12 am on the last Thursday of this month of October, as winter time will continue for six consecutive months until the last Thursday of April, after which it will return to summer time.
It is worth noting that the time change in Egypt occurs twice a year, the first at the beginning of the spring season, when the clock is moved forward by 60 minutes, and the second at the beginning of the fall season, when the clock is delayed again. This system helps in organizing daily life and contributes to improving the efficiency of energy use during the different seasons of the year.
To change the clock to winter time, you can follow simple steps on smartphones. First, enter the settings menu, then activate the latest update for the phone to ensure that the time is adjusted automatically. After that, you must choose the date and time and activate the change automatically, or change the clock manually to 11 pm instead of 12 am.
The government calls on citizens to be careful during the change process to ensure that no problems occur. It is expected that the closing times of stores and cafes will be linked to the dates of implementation of winter time, and visitors should follow the new dates to ensure that they organize their time better.
