Daylight saving time from today

March 25th, 2012

If you haven’t yet, remember to turn your watch forward an hour. We will revert to standard time on Sunday 28 October.
The same rule is followed by all clocks in the European Union: Summer Time begins and ends at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time); it begins the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October. In the EU, all time zones change at the same moment.
