I don't know about Spain, but the European countries didn't always all change their clocks on the same date like they do now. I remember when I was learning German at school the textbook said that "Germany is one hour ahead of Britain (except in October)", meaning they used to put their clocks back a month earlier than we did.

No they should join our time.

I didn't realize but just checked there now Belarus and Eastern Ukraine are now 3 hours ahead of me!

Timezones increase from 9 to 11, and has standard time year-round, for Russia, since yesterday.

That would mean 3.30 pm sunsets in eastern France in mid-december.

No thanks.

And as of now sunset in Spain is 18:20 and Florida at 25N doesn't even have that.

@Forgitten Username : But it will be better than 8am sunrises which is late enough for around 45 latitude. Nice at 43N also get around 8am sunrise.

I prefer the sunrise time to be "milder" in the winter, which means, sunrise time isn't too late, for the latitude. Mild winter (like in Nice) feels weird without "mild" sunrise time. (I prefer bright mornings).

i doubt he'd find that an improvement. and so would many of the locals. 3 30 sunsets sound much worse
