Clocks go back tonight

A timely reminder

Don't forget to put your clocks back tonight.

The time will move back by an hour at 2am on Sunday (27 October), marking the end of British Summer Time.

With the Met Office forecasting chilly lows of 3°C in some parts of the Island tonight, it feels like an appropriate moment.

For those who cherish their sleep, the change means an extra hour in bed.

But 2018 could mark the final time the clocks go back.

In September, the European Commission announced plans to end seasonal time changes across the continent.

If lawmakers signal approval, it could be enforced as soon as next year.

For the time being, though, do remember to change all mechanical timepieces overnight - many electronic devices will update themselves automatically.
