Balearic Islands Want Permanent Summer Time: What That Really Means for Mallorca
Why Mallorca Would Still Need Practical Changes
Even with permanent summer time, Mallorca would still need better lighting and flexible schedules for darker winter mornings.
Published: April 21, 2026
Answer
Would Mallorca still need better lighting and adjusted schedules if summer time became permanent?
Yes, because later sunsets would not solve the problem of dark winter mornings. Mallorca would still benefit from better street lighting, more flexible school and work start times, and bus or ferry schedules that fit winter daylight better. Practical adjustments would help reduce the drawbacks without relying only on the clock change.
