London, March 30: Clocks across Europe were moved forward by one hour on Sunday, March 30, marking the start of Daylight Saving Time (DST) and British Summer Time (BST) in the UK. The shift, which took effect at 1 am GMT, ushers in longer evenings as spring begins to take hold.

In the UK, the change shifts the clocks from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to British Summer Time (BST), while across Europe, countries move from Central European Time (CET) to Central European Summer Time (CEST). This annual adjustment has been observed for decades, with the clocks set to revert to their original times in October.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Daylight Saving Time 2025: What Does 슬롯사이트Spring Forward슬롯사이트� in DST Mean?
