Question

anyone pls clarify this about its usage in northamerica & europe. wanted to know how the clocks are turned(forward or backward & by how much) in both regions. thnks in advance

Answer 1

Just remember the phrase, spring ahead, fall back.

In the spring, the time change will require you to turn the time forward one hour.

In the fall turn it back one hour.

Answer 2

North America
North America generally follows the same procedure, with each time zone switching at 2:00 a.m. LST (local standard time) to 3:00 LDT (local daylight time) on the first Sunday in April, and again from 2:00 a.m. LDT to 1:00 LST on the last Sunday in October. In 2007, the starting and ending dates for DST will change in the United States and parts of Canada.

Europe
All countries in Europe except Iceland observe DST and change on the same date and time, starting on the last Sunday in March and ending on the last Sunday in October. Before 1996, DST ended on the last Sunday of September. In the West European (UTC), Central European (CET, UTC+1), and East European (UTC+2) time zones the change is simultaneous: on both dates the clocks are changed everywhere at 01:00 UTC, i.e. from local times of 01:00/02:00/03:00 to 02:00/03:00/04:00 in March, and vice versa in October.[21] See also: European Summer Time and British Summer Time which includes description of Double Summer Time.
