Daylight Savings Time

The clocks went back an hour last night - did you forget?

That means you’ll have gotten an extra hour in bed.

THE CLOCKS WENT back by an hour early this morning.

That means you’ll have gotten an extra hour in bed.

Sunrise and sunset are also set to happen an hour earlier.

Most smart devices should automatically take the change under Daylight Savings Time into account, but you might still need to change any analogue or digital clocks.

The clocks are set to go forward again at 1am on 3o March 2025.
