Armenia Moves to Daylight Saving Time

It’s the weekend to spring ahead to Daylight Saving Time in Armenia.

Daylight Saving Time (DST), the practice of temporarily advancing clocks during the summer months so that afternoons (rather than mornings) have more daylight, comes to Armenia this Sunday.

For one night, there’s the prospect of 60 fewer minutes of shut-eye, but ahead are many months with an extra hour of evening sunlight.

Clocks in the former Soviet republic will be adjusted forward one hour on March 27 at 2 am.
