In Northern Cyprus, clocks will be turned back to winter time on Sunday night

During the night from Saturday to Sunday, October 26, Northern Cyprus will switch to winter time. At 04:00 a.m., clocks should be set back one hour — to 03:00 a.m.

Thus, residents and visitors of Northern Cyprus will be able to sleep one hour longer, and from this day onward, sunrises and sunsets will occur earlier. The transition to winter time is carried out in accordance with the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, synchronously with the practice adopted in Türkiye.

Citizens are advised to check the time on household devices, mobile phones, and computers in advance to avoid confusion on Sunday morning. Authorities also remind that the time change may temporarily affect well-being and sleep patterns, so it is better to adjust in advance.
