How the Rules Work
- United States & Canada — forward on the second Sunday of March at 2:00 AM, back on the first Sunday of November at 2:00 AM, each timezone switching at its own local 2 AM.
- UK & Europe — forward on the last Sunday of March, back on the last Sunday of October. The whole continent switches at the same instant (1:00 AM UTC), so London, Berlin, and Helsinki change simultaneously.
- Australia & New Zealand — opposite seasons: forward in October, back in April (NZ: late September and the first Sunday of April). In Australia only NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the ACT take part.
- Most of the world — no change at all. Asia, Africa, and South America almost entirely skip DST, as do Iceland, Russia, Arizona, and Hawaii.
Why Do Clocks Change?
Daylight saving shifts an hour of morning light to the evening during summer, an idea adopted widely during the World Wars to save fuel. Whether it still makes sense is debated everywhere it's used — the EU voted to end seasonal changes in 2019 but never agreed on which time to keep, and US bills to make daylight time permanent keep stalling. Until someone decides, the clocks keep hopping — and this page keeps tracking the next hop.
FAQ
Do I lose or gain an hour of sleep?
Spring forward = lose an hour (the night is one hour shorter). Fall back = gain an hour. The direction of your next change is shown at the top.
How does this page know my clock change without my location?
Your device's timezone database knows its own rules — the page simply scans your clock's UTC offset day by day into the future and finds the exact minute it shifts. Nothing is sent anywhere.
What if my country doesn't observe DST?
Then no change is found in the next 18 months, and the page says so — enjoy your stable clock.
