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

Answer

Would permanent summer time be good for Mallorca?

Permanent summer time could make Mallorca’s evenings feel longer and more useful for restaurants, terraces, beach walks and tourism businesses. The trade-off would be darker winter mornings, which could affect school runs, commuting and daily routines. For the island, the question is less about comfort alone and more about balancing economic benefits with safety and practicality.
