When does British Summertime start?

Answer 1

There's a simple guide for clock changes in UK : -
Spring forward - Last Sunday in March [clocks fwd 1hr]
Fall back - Last Sunday in October [clocks back 1hr].
All this clock changing and time-zone hopping, may end soon if a Bill in the House of Commons gets through. It will put UK on Double Summer Time from last Sunday in March to last Sunday in October - then back one hour to put UK on normal Summer time throughout the winter months.

Answer 2

Technically, British Summer Time begins at 1am on the last Sunday in March - when official clocks are put forward one hour (ordinary household clocks are changed over the course of the next few days, or even weeks or months, depending upon the location of the clock) - and ends on the last Sunday in October, when the lost hour is restored to the nation. Summer duly occurs at some point during this period, being characterised, according to ancient belief, by spells of warm, sunny weather; so if at any time in those months there is sunny, warm weather for more than two consecutive days, the population is able to shrug collectively and say well, that was summer. The two consecutive days are normally (although not invariably - see Bank Holidays below) a Thursday and Friday, the weather turning cool and cloudy again for the weekend.

Answer 3

Hi,

I take it you mean "when do the clocks go forward?" Usually, British Summer Time starts on the last Saturday in March, when the clocks go forward 1 hour. This year, that is 31st March, but this can (and has in the past) been changed by Government.

Greenwich Mean Time when the clocks go back 1 hour is usually, the last Saturday in October (this year, it's 27th October), but again, this can be changed by Government.

Hope this helps buddy!

Answer 4

British Summer Time (BST) starts on the last Sunday of March when the time moves ahead 1 hour at 1am to 2am. The time reverts back to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on the last Sunday in October when the time moves back 1 hour at 2am to 1am.

Answer 5

It always starts the last Sunday in March at 2 am.

But their school summer break starts in the end of July!
