When does British Summer Time start? Exact date clocks go forward 2022

Spring is officially here and the UK has been basking in glorious sunshine for the best part of a week. Things are only set to get better too thanks to the clock change which will bring longer and lighter days.

Every year the clocks go forward by one hour in March, it happens when there's more daylight in the evenings and less in the mornings. The period when the clocks are one hour ahead is called British Summer Time (BST).

British Summer Time is also sometimes referred to as Daylight Saving Time. When the clocks go back, which occurs in October, the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
