There are going to be two Time Changes in 2000:

March 26, 2000
The Time Change from Winter Time to Daylight Savings Time will take place in Portugal on March 26, 2000 at 1 in the morning. The clock jumps forward from 1 to 2 am. This means the people in Portugal have to cope with one hour less of sleep. As another consequence it is going to be darker in the morning again.
