Daylight savings time ends tomorrow. This is something we have no experience in Singapore, when people scramble to move their clocks 1hour back to match the hours of sunlight.

“All countries in Europe, except Iceland as already noted, observe daylight-saving time and change on the same date: moving clocks forward one hour on the last Sunday in March and back one hour on the last Sunday in October. In the West European (UTC), Central European (UTC+1), and East European (UTC+2) time zones the change is simultaneous: on both dates the clocks are changed everywhere at 01:00 UTC, i.e. from local times of 01:00/02:00/03:00 to 02:00/03:00/04:00 in March, and vice versa in October.”

Let’s hope people remember and not be late for school!
