Spring forward into longer days: Clocks go forward in Spain this weekend
On Sunday March 31, daylight saving time (DST) begins in Spain and the clocks will be put forward by an hour
Why do we adjust the clocks in spring?
Did you know...?
- Not every country observes daylight saving time (DST). Many nations, including most of Central America, South America, Africa and Asia, do not adjust their clocks seasonally.
- Historically, during the Spanish Civil War, there were two separate time zones depending on whether an area was controlled by Republican or Nationalist forces. As a result, the war's end time varied depending on who was telling the story.
- Benjamin Franklin was one of the earliest proponents of DST. In his 1784 essay, ‘Economic Project to Reduce the Cost of Light,’ he suggested advancing clocks to capitalise on morning sunlight. However, it is commonly attributed to astronomer George Vernon Hudson, who revived the concept in 1895.
- The first implementation of DST occurred in April 1916, amidst World War I, to conserve coal used for lighting.
- Russia holds the distinction of having the most time zones among all countries, with a total of 11.
- Some regions even deviate from the standard hourly increments, with time differences of 30 or 45 minutes. One such example is India's city of Bangalore.
