Daylight Saving Time 2027/2028 | Starts

Daylight Saving Time

Daylight saving time is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer.

Typically, regions that use daylight saving time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to standard time.
