Questions Resurface Over the Possibility of Returning to Winter Time

Calls for Reinstating Winter Time in Jordan

With the arrival of autumn and the approaching rainy season in Jordan, discussions around the winter time shift have resurfaced, as it has become an increasing demand among citizens.

Winter time, known for setting the clock back by 60 minutes, is a practice Jordanians have been accustomed to implementing at the end of each October for several years.

This topic raises questions about its potential implementation in Jordan, especially regarding work hours, school schedules, and social commitments. Experts note that the winter time adjustment helps make better use of daylight, reduces energy consumption, and improves the organization of daily activities during colder seasons.

Specialists also point out that transitioning to winter time usually comes with a period of physical and psychological adjustment, as the body gradually adapts to changes in light and dark cycles, which can affect sleep patterns and daily energy levels.

In light of these factors, Jordanian citizens and families are closely following government decisions regarding the official start of winter time, hopeful that this change will ease daily life during the upcoming autumn and winter months, despite earlier government sources denying a return to winter time.
