One of the surest signs that summer is over is the turning back of the clocks by one hour in the autumn.
The longest day of 2022 was June 21, and the nights have been drawing in gradually since then. Currently, the sun is setting just after 7pm — but this will continue to get earlier throughout the remainder of the year.
In October, the clocks will go back, meaning we will lose an extra 60 minutes of light at the end of the day. However, there is a logical reason why the clocks change twice per year.
