When does summer time start and end in Denmark in 2027?
The dates for 2027 and the next years.
Short answer
In 2027 summer time in Denmark starts on Sunday 28 March and ends on Sunday 31 October. The change happens at 1.00 UTC, which in Denmark means 2.00 becomes 3.00 in March and 3.00 becomes 2.00 in October. The European Commission has already published the dates up to 2031: in 2028 summer time runs from 26 March to 29 October, in 2029 from 25 March to 28 October.
Why
- Summer time always starts on the last Sunday in March.
- It always ends on the last Sunday in October.
- All EU countries change at the same moment, 1.00 UTC.
Details
In 2030 summer time runs from 31 March to 27 October, and in 2031 from 30 March to 26 October.
Tip
When you book a trip for late March or late October, check if your dates fall on the change weekend.
What may differ
If the EU decides to end the clock changes, the dates after a set year could disappear.
Common misconception
Many believe each country picks its own date to change the clocks.
What actually happens
In the EU the dates and the hour are common rules, so all member states change at the same moment.
