Daylight Savings Time in Poland

Does Poland use DST? I was wondering, because some people I talk to from Poland were not available when I called them usually the same time I always call them.

I heard that most countries use it now, while before it was only in the US.

They use it but this year in the US we already changed it., which is usually done in April.

They did not change the time in Poland yet. I talked to my brother yesterday. It was only six hours difference and it is always seven.

Darn time change anyway, it does not "save" anything, but I love the longer daylight!

That is probably why I couldn't meet my talking appointments. I enjoy the longer daylight, although it is kind of weird to still have light out at 8 in the evening. The only thing bad is the first day, when you lose an hour of sleep. Although if someone changes the clocks for you without you knowing, the loss has no effect.

Which state is that? It is one of the Midwest or Central ones right?

easy to remember:
the whole European Union switches to DST at 1.00 AM UTC (Greenwich time) on the last Sunday of March and back to "normal" time on the last Sunday of October, again at 1.00 AM UTC.

Poland has had DST for many years, but we used to switch back to CET (Central European Time, commonly called "czas zimowy" - winter time) on the last Sunday of September (before 1995) and sometimes even on a movable date (decreted by the government)
