In 2021, winter time in Portugal starts on October 31 at 2:00 am, when clocks must be set back one hour.
The time changeover to winter time is made every year on the last Sunday in October.
When does the time change?
The time change to winter time is in the early morning hours from Saturday to Sunday, from 30 (Saturday) to 31 October (Sunday) 2021.
Thus, at 02:00 on the 31st, the clock must be set back by one hour on the Continent and in Madeira. In the Azores you should be one hour late at 01:00 in the morning.
This is the longest day of the year, with 25 hours, since you get an hour back on the clocks and gain an hour. From this date onwards, the days start to get dark earlier.

With the change to winter time, 02:00 on October 31st becomes 01:00 in Mainland Portugal and Madeira.
Açores
In the Azores, the time change takes place at 01:00 on the 31st of October, when the clocks start to read 00:00.
End of winter time
