Summer Time Ends With a Repeated Hour

Name: __________________________ Date: __________________

Read the story

The UK’s seasonal clock change took place early on October 25: 2 am BST became 1 am GMT. That hour occurred twice on local clocks.

Equipment that does not update automatically requires adjustment, including household clocks and heating timers. The switch marks the end of British Summer Time.
