UK Springs Forward: Longer Evenings Ahead

As March progresses, the UK prepares for longer evenings with the switch to British Summer Time on March 29th. This change brings more daylight after work, allowing for extended outdoor activities before the official start of spring. In 2026, sunsets will remain after 9 PM across the UK from late May to mid-July, with approximately 60 such evenings. The practice of daylight saving time, initiated in 1916 to conserve fuel and boost productivity, is now followed by about 70 countries worldwide, including most of Europe and North America.
