SUMMARY:British Summer Time Begins
DESCRIPTION:Daylight savings start today in the UK with the start of British Summer Time. \nSunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour later on 29th March 2026 than the day before. Meaning that there will be less light first thing and more light in the evening. \nHistory of Daylight Savings: \n‘Spring forward\, fall back’. In spring\, the clocks go forward one hour and British Summer Time begins. In autumn (fall)\, the clocks go back as British Summer Time comes to an end and the UK reverts back to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). \nBut when did this practice begin\, and why? British Summer Time\, also known as Daylight Saving Time\, was the brainchild of a builder from Kent called William Willett. The story goes that one day on his way back from riding his horse in Petts Wood near his home in the early 1900s\, he noticed many of the blinds and curtains in the neighbouring houses were still drawn\, even though it was light. This led him to consider the idea of adapting the time to better fit daylight hours. Back then the clocks were set all year round to Greenwich Mean Time\, meaning it was light by 3am and dark around 9pm in the summer. \nSource: https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/British-Summer-Time/
