Though the sun had been up for hours as he rode his horse through Chislehurst and Petts Wood, people were still asleep in bed." As the saying goes, spring forward, fall back. When the clocks go forward in March, we enter British Summer Time (BST) and leave behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) for seven months allowing for the long, summer nights we all look forward to in Glasgow.

Daylight saving time for 2022 in the United Kingdom will begin at 1am on Sunday, 27 March meaning the clocks go forward one hour.

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

The clocks go forward one hour at 1am on Sunday, March 27, 2022, in the UK, signalling the start of British Summer Time (BST) and end of Greenwich Mean ...

An easy way to remember whether clocks go forward or back is that they 'spring forward' (we lose an hour) on the final Sunday in March and they 'fall back' (we gain an hour) on the last Sunday in October. In the UK, clocks go forward one hour at 1am on the last Sunday in March.

With the EU and US voting to scrap hour changes, I'm glad to see the world finally catching up with me, says Stefano Pavone, founder of anti-daylight ...

I founded the anti daylight saving time movement Hora Solaris (“solar time” in Latin), because I am convinced that DST can no longer be allowed to exist and must be abolished in not just the UK, but every country implementing it. (This was made even worse during the second world war, when British double summer time was introduced, time-shifting the natural day by two hours instead of one.) In 2019, a group of experts in psychology, neurology and sleep cycles concluded that “if we want to improve human health … we should abandon DST”, after studies showed that, in the weeks after a clock change, sleep durations fall and heart attacks increase. Changing our “social clock” creates a gulf between the time on our watches and the height of the sun in the sky.

The all too familiar stretch in the evenings is back within reach, as daylight hours extend with a promising summer just around the corner.

Daylight savings greatly differs from continent to continent. In North America daylight saving time starts at 2am on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday in November, whereas in Australia, the clocks go forward on the first Sunday in April and go back on the first Sunday in October. Under EU law, clocks in all member states must go back an hour on the last Sunday in October and go forward the last Sunday of March, therefore in 2022, clocks will go forward this Sunday and will then go back again on Sunday, October 30.

It means one hour less sleep tonight, but more sunlight in the evenings.

It was then re-introduced after a 30 year gap in 1976 because of the 1973 oil crisis. Daylight saving time is common across Europe, but it was very nearly scrapped for European Union countries with the European Parliament voting in 2019 to end the practice. It means possibly losing an hour of sleep, unless you decide to have a long lie (faire la grasse matinée in French). But in good news, it also means that there will be one more hour of daylight in the evenings.

The clocks will go forward one hour this Sunday, March 27 as they always do on the last Sunday in March. By Brendan McDaid. Saturday, 26th March 2022, ...
