Permanent Daylight Saving Time: What It Would Really Mean for Mallorca

Answer

How would daylight saving time affect school mornings in Mallorca?

A permanent summer-time system would make winter mornings darker in Mallorca, which is a concern for children walking to school and for parents organising the school run. Schools and transport providers would likely need to adjust timetables or improve bus services. Safety on routes to school would become a bigger issue than it is now.
