Schools are back, the weather is cooling down and we're now inevitably thinking about Halloween and dare we say it... Christmas.
You've probably already started to notice the evenings getting darker earlier as we move towards Autumn.
But it's not all bad, the clocks changing this time of year means we get an extra hour in bed (well, not if you're a parent!)
So when do the clocks go back?
This year the clocks change on October 27, 2019.
Good news if you're in a late night bar and fancy 'one more' for the road.
But remember to adjust your alarm clock accordingly if you're up for any reason on Sunday morning, or you'll be having an earlier than expected breakfast.
How do I remember which direction to change the clocks?
To avoid confusion, simply memorise the simple phrase 'spring forward, fall back'.
The clocks always go forward an hour on the last weekend in March in spring and go back on the final weekend of October in autumn.
Why do we have Dayligh t Saving Time?
The tradition of putting clocks forward in spring and back in autumn was started by London builder William Willett in 1907.
He argued that the population's health and happiness would be improved by putting the clocks forward 20 minutes every Sunday in April and with the opposite being done in September.
Willett died in 1915, the year before it was finally introduced in Britain.
So when we are one hour ahead we are on British Summer Time (BST) and when the clocks go back in October each year we are on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
