Time to change

What a magnificent day, at least in Dublin but most likely all over Ireland.

And it's the last day of winter time.

At 02.00 tomorrow clocks across Europe go forward one hour. Well, not exactly, Russia no longer changes its time. 

The United States moves to Daylight Saving Time on the second weekend of March.

At present Ireland is on GMT, from tomorrow we will be on GMT plus one hour, along with the UK and Portugal while the rest of the EU will be on GMT plus two.

And don't mix up UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), which is a time standard, with GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), which is a time zone.
