Spring forward!
OK, so every year it happens, twice a year… and every year we get confused.
Well, maybe not confused as such… but questions such as ‘are they going back or forward?‘ and ‘what day?’ and ‘what time?‘ always get thrown around.
So, in order to set everything straight, here’s everything you need to know:
Tonight at 1am on Sunday, March 25 the clocks will spring forward to 2am, marking the start of British Summer Time.
Most of us have our phones connected to the Internet, so they will should update automatically – but just to be sure, you can go to: Settings > Time & Date> and make sure the automatic date & time feature is enabled. And make sure to change your watches, clocks and whatever other timepieces you have in the house manually.
So when does the time go back again?
It will be Sunday, October 28 at 2am before the clocks go backwards again.
Daylight savings is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months by one hour, so that evening daylight lasts an hour longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times.
Changing the clocks remains controversial. Many claimed that putting the clocks forward and backward can negatively affect people’s mental and physical health. Research suggests that the one-hour time change twice a year can throw off your body clock. In February, the EU announced that they were going to review the impact of Daylight Saving Time.
