Clocks to go forward once again!

It's the moment we've all been waiting for - the clocks go forward this weekend, marking the beginning of British Summer Time (BST), also known as Daylight Saving Time (DST). It's time to say goodbye to those dreary winter evenings and hello to longer days of glorious sunshine.

So, what do you need to know?

First things first, mark your calendars! The clocks go forward on the last Sunday in March, which means that this weekend, Sunday, March 26 at 1 am, we'll all be springing forward.

But hold on to your hats, because with the clocks going forward an hour, you'll lose an hour of sleep. That's right, folks, it's time to set your alarms earlier and prepare for a groggy Monday morning. Don't worry, though - you'll get that precious hour back when the clocks go back later this year.

Now, the important question - will you need to fiddle around with the time on your phone? Fear not, most smartphones should update automatically, so you can relax and let technology do the work. However, for those of you with manual clocks or alarms, you may need to set the time manually.

But what does this mean for us? Well, in line with the summer months, the clocks go forward by an hour to maximise the sunlight that is only available at this time of year. It's time to embrace the longer evenings, dust off the BBQ and get outside!

Sadly, though, this also means that we'll have to wait until Sunday, October 29, 2023, for the clocks to go back an hour. But let's not dwell on that - let's focus on the positive and make the most of the longer days and brighter evenings that are just around the corner.

So, there you have it, folks. It's time to prepare for British Summer Time. Let's enjoy the extra sunlight and make the most of this glorious time of year!
