The summer time will end and clocks will be turned an hour backward (toward the summer) on Sunday, October 31, at 04:00 in the morning.

In a survey conducted by the Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications in 2018, 52 percent of the respondents voted for staying in winter time: 238,000 people wanted more light for the mornings. 216,000 favored the summer time.
