More than half a century travel time: Morning from Saturday to Sunday in 2 will be 3
At the end of this week, at dawn from Saturday 29 to Sunday 30, Spanish, and the rest of the Europeans, we must advance … Our hours of hours to welcome the summer schedule. At 2:00 am, it will be 3:00, which is an hour less than sleep. In the Canary Islands, the change will occur an hour before: at 1:00 am, it will be 2:00.
The time was changed in Spain without interruption for more than half a century. It was approved in 1973, but its application began in 1974, so we were already in the spring or delayed in the fall.
According to them Royal Observatory for Navy, In that in 1974, the change in the summer schedule occurred on Saturday, April 13th at 11 pm. In April, although in different days, he remained until 1980, with the exception of 1976, it was changed on Saturday 27 March, in 23 hours as well. From 1981 until today, the hour has always advanced on the last Sunday of March, and at the same time, 2 in the morning, when most sleep and activity slowed.
Three advanced in 1938
Historically in Spain, time began to adapt to the summer schedule in 1918 and continued in 1919, but then he did not resume until 1924, and so on, as a dedeea, he arrived until 1937, in the midst of the civil war. The funny thing is that in that year there were two different historys of progress in late time, perhaps because with the gods in the war, no one has fallen.
The Official Gazette of the Republic, that is, the official government, was dated June 16, and the official state newspaper (BOE), which was published in the lands occupied by Franco, on May 22. In 1938 it was changed to three times, and two of them to the republic at the beginning of April, and one of the education, in March.
There were changes in time until 1949, but from 1950 to 1973, summer time stopped in Spain. That year as a result of the energy crisis derived from the increase in oil prices in October 1973, the summer schedule was restored in many countries, including Spain, to save energy.
Today, all European Union member states do this under the regulations 2000/84/EC, which force them to change time twice a year, one at this time of year, in March, for the summer table; And another in October, for the winter table. It is also done in the United States and Canada. The next time, it is scheduled to be modified on October 26, when the watch is delayed for an hour to return to the winter schedule.
In 2018, the European Union made a public consultation in which it was near all the participants preferring to get rid of seasonal changes at the time. After that, in 2019, the European Parliament approved a decision until each country decided whether it wanted to maintain the summer or winter schedule permanently from 2021. The lack of consensus led to the postponement of this decision indefinitely and Spain continued to implement time tables, at least until 2026, according to the current legislation.
Another discussion is a single spindle air conditioning throughout Spain, so that the entire country has the same time as it rules in Portugal and the Canary Archipelago. There are those who see an inconsistency that Vigo, at the western end of the peninsula, has the same official time as Lublin, east of Poland, when there is a difference in the time of solar energy between almost two hours. But this is another discussion.
Dusk later
The logic of change to the summer timeline is to ensure that the activity hours are as close as possible for that of sunlight. Since the beginning of the year, the days became longer (as we have already noticed), as it was useful to make the official time, so that it was at seven in the afternoon eight of the new schedule.
Another argument arises strongly every time the time is changed is that it provides energy in offices and industries by reducing the demand for electricity in the morning. In addition, when bedtime is close to sunlight, electricity is saved. “Through an electric network with a greater weight of solar energy (it’s already light of production), it seems that the change is logical, because the need to store energy is decreasing.”
“Another point is that supporters change time is the effect on trade and entertainment, as workers can take advantage of some light after their work day,” additive.
In this debate that arises at least twice a year of always maintaining or changing the same timetable, Tapiator, former Decoan of the College of Environmental and Biochemical Sciences at Castilla-La Mancha University, supports temporal change. “I think it adds a variety to the calendar, which is never a mistake. Avoid monotony. I love the summer schedule. I love that last night. If you want to go to sleep soon, this is enough to lower curtains, and this is something we have in this country, and not as in the Netherlands, among other things. ”
There are studies that show that changing the schedule leads to energy savings. Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving the number by 300 million euros, lighting savings that are achieved with time change.
However, scientists warn against Negative biological effect This is the time when people change and are committed to maintaining the winter schedule, as it is more balanced. A global study in which Dario Akoyana, a professor of Fakhri in the Department of Physiology in UGR, argues that the differences in light in all stations are soft to allow human adaptation and softness that the change in the summer schedule “collapses”. In addition, the winter schedule avoids excessive light in the afternoon/night, and is harmful to health by changing the chronopiot system for people, as the study indicates.
However, that early morning from Saturday is not forgotten: in the second it will be 3, so that if you are a person of fixed customs even on the weekend, you will sleep for a lesser hour.
