It’s the last Sunday of March tomorrow and that means that British Summer Time (BST) begins tomorrow. This means your clocks should go forward an hour, meaning you loose an hour’s sleep if you feel like it.

As with pervious years reminders your PC should well know that it should adjust itself for this event. If your PC has the wrong time or date in its memory it won’t do it correctly.

To check if your computer has the correct time and date set, just right click over the clock in the bottom right of your screen and choose ‘adjust time and date’. Then look and see if the both time and date are correct in the window that appears.

Do note that if you have other electrical devices that know both the time and the date, and they were made before Summer Time Order of 2002, which laid down that it would be the period beginning at one o’clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the last Sunday in March and ending at one o’clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the last Sunday in October – then you will need to update these manually.
