The clocks go forward on 30 March!

WHEN DO THE CLOCKS CHANGE?

In the UK the clocks go forward 1 hour at 1am on the last Sunday in March, and back 1 hour at 2am on the last Sunday in October.

The period when the clocks are 1 hour ahead is called British Summer Time (BST). There's more daylight in the evenings and less in the mornings (sometimes called Daylight Saving Time).

When the clocks go back one hour at 02:00 on the last Sunday in October., the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
