Daylight Saving 2024 Uk Start. Daylight saving time maximises the benefit of daylight at latitudes where summer days are long. There’s more daylight in the evenings and less in the mornings (sometimes called daylight saving time).

The clocks change on the last sunday of march every year in the uk, moving forward by one hour. In the 1890s, george vernon hudson, an astronomer and entomologist in new zealand, proposed a time shift in the spring and fall to increase the daylight.
