In Poland, the standard time is Central European Time (Polish: Czas środkowoeuropejski; CET; UTC+01:00).[1] Daylight saving time is observed from the last Sunday in March (02:00 CET) to the last Sunday in October (03:00 CEST).[2]

History

Poland adopted CET on 31 May 1922.[3][4] After World War II, summer time in Poland was introduced in 1946 by a resolution of the Council of Ministers, though it would later be repealed on 1949.[5] Summer time was in use again between 1957 and 1964, and has been in use since 1977.[6]

In Poland, consultations were carried out regarding the time shift, which showed 78 percent of Poles were not in favour of summer time.[7] Despite this, however, it is not yet known whether the last time change in Poland will occur in 2021, as there are currently no legal regulations yet.[8]
