The evenings are getting lighter and the days longer, so summer must be on its way.
After a long, cold winter spent mainly in lockdown, many Brits are looking forward to a time when they can spend their evenings enjoying the sunshine and socialising in pub gardens with friends.
Marking the official beginning of British Summer Time (BST) the clocks will go forward this Sunday in the early hours of the morning.
The clocks will go forward one hour at 1am on Sunday 28 March - so the time will jump to 2am.
This means we will unfortunately lose an hour of sleep on Sunday - but ultimately gain much-needed lighter evenings and longer days.
If you’re worried about losing an all important hour of sleep maybe head to bed a little earlier on Saturday night.
With restrictions easing from Monday, allowing people to meet outdoors with one other household or in a group of six, it may be the perfect time for the clocks to change.
Staying outdoors for longer, warmer and lighter evenings gives us the perfect chance to catch up with friends and family.
If you’ve got an smartphone it will automatically change it for you but if you need to set your alarm clock for Sunday morning be sure to change it to an hour earlier before you go to bed on Saturday night.
Remember, not all clocks in cars will automatically change the time so if you’re checking the time on route to an appointment you may still be an hour behind.
The clocks will then go back an hour in Autumn on Sunday 31st October at 2am.
If you struggle to remember when the clocks change remember this handy phrase, ‘spring forward, fall back’.
Waking up on Sunday morning, hopefully it’ll finally feel like summer is slowly on its way!
