Al-Khuzai: Jordan's Winter as Standard Time
The article focuses on the importance of adopting winter time in Jordan, clarifying that winter time is the original time in the country before daylight saving time was introduced. It points out that the practice of winter time began in 1940 with the aim of reducing energy consumption, and that the government reinstated it in 1974 after a one-year experiment with daylight saving time. The article adds that maintaining daylight saving time during the winter increases fuel and energy consumption and leads to additional operating costs of up to 5 million dinars annually. It also results in more traffic accidents during winter, coinciding with citizens’ outings when temperatures drop. The piece concludes with the recommendation that returning to winter time would help reduce economic burdens and improve traffic and security conditions during the winter season.
