The clocks go forward in the early hours of Sunday morning, marking the beginning of daylight saving. It will mean that at 1pm time jumps forward to 2am on the 30th March and the bad news is you will lose an hour of sleep as it happens. But the extra hour of daylight will mean longer, lighter evenings from next week.
The changing of the clocks with the annual Spring forward and Fall back of the clocks has been part of the UK calendar for more than 100 years with the UK adopting the daylight savings timekeeping in 1916. The debate on whether the UK should continue to change the clocks grows each time the clocks change.
The change to British Summer Time also known as daylight saving time signifies the end of Greenwich Mean Time in the UK with British Summer Time in effect from the last Sunday in March until the last Sunday in October, when the clocks go back an hour once again.
With many clocks now automatically set the traditional routine of manually changing the clocks back and hour is for many consigned to history, but some old clocks will still require manually changed to British Summer Time.
So remember if your alarm clock does not automatically update itself to set it forward an hour tonight.
