Clocks ‘fall’ back one hour at 2am on Sunday morning
It’s been a month since the Autumnal equinox and the days are getting shorter but it is really going to feel like the winter is coming when the clocks go back an hour in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Daylight Saving Time comes to an end in Ireland and Britain when Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) replaces Irish Standard Time and British Summer Time at 2am on Sunday, October 25.
The clocks traditionally revert to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) on the last Sunday of October ensuring brighter mornings and darker evenings.
To keep in time you should set your clocks, watches and devices back one hour to 1am at 2am in the early hours of Sunday.
You will get an extra hour in bed but the darkness will set in any an hour earlier later on Sunday afternoon.
The change was originally devised as a way of maximising the best possible use of the daylight during the winter.
