Bulgaria Switches to Daylight Saving Time at 3:00 a.m. on March 27

Sofia, March 18 (BTA) - Clocks in Bulgaria will be advanced one hour to daylight saving time at 3:00 a.m. local time (1:00 a.m. UTC) on Sunday, March 27, the Bulgarian Institute of Metrology said.

Daylight saving time was introduced in this country in 1979, and since 1997 has been kept between 3:00 a.m. local time on the last Sunday in March and 4:00 a.m. local time on the last Sunday in October. In 2016, the seasonal time shift will end on October 30, when clocks will be moved one hour back to standard astronomical time.
