For anyone heading to the UK in the next week, be aware that they are changing from British Summer Time at 2:00 AM on Sunday, October 25, and will ”fall back” to one hour earlier. That means that sunrise will happen before 7:00 AM again, but sunset will suddenly be before 5:00 PM.
If anyone’s heading to the U.S.A. in the next couple of weeks, we’re switching back a week later from Daylight Saving Time to Standard time, at 2:00 AM on Sunday, November 1, 2026.
With smartphones now so widespread, and setting times automatically, there are fewer clocks and watches to change. But especially for someone traveling, it’s important to be aware of the change.
