London: The UK is set to transition to British Summer Time (BST) this Sunday, March 31, 2024. Clocks will move forward by one hour at 1:00 AM, marking the official start of the summer schedule.
The time change means longer daylight hours in the evening, offering extended sunshine and brighter evenings for residents. However, it also results in a loss of one hour of sleep for the night, something many people will have to adjust to in the coming days.
British Summer Time follows the tradition of Daylight Saving Time, which was first introduced during World War I to make better use of natural daylight and conserve energy. The practice continues today, helping businesses and individuals benefit from longer daylight hours during the warmer months.
