We change the clocks twice a year: once in spring and once in autumn. In spring, we “spring forward” by one hour, usually on the last Sunday of March. In autumn, we “fall back” by one hour, always on the last Sunday of October.
For 2026, that means we spring forward on March 31 at 1:00 a.m. (suddenly, it’s 2:00 a.m.). Then we fall back on October 27 at 2:00 a.m. (and magically, it’s 1:00 a.m. again). It’s like a tiny time-travel trick we all agree to play together—twice a year, every year.
