Spring is here and it’s just a few days until we get more daylight hours.

When do the clocks change?

This year the clocks go forward one hour on Sunday 30 March at 1 am.

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, the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
