Get Ready to Turn Back the Clocks: Extra Hour in Bed This Weekend!
When Do the Clocks Change?
This Sunday, October 27, at 2am, the UK clocks go back one hour. That means more zzz’s for early risers and extra daylight in the morning as we inch closer to winter.
Manual Clock Changes: What You Need to Know
Most gadgets like smartphones, laptops, and smart TVs will switch automatically. But beware! Older devices such as car radios, alarm clocks, and some kitchen appliances may need a manual time tweak.
Why Do We Even Change the Clocks?
The idea behind Daylight Saving Time is to make the most of daylight and save energy. It started with Germany in 1916 during World War I to cut down on artificial lighting. Britain soon followed, and since 1971, we’ve bounced between British Summer Time (BST) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Enjoy that extra hour of snooze and morning sunshine this weekend – winter is coming!
