Time setup

[dave77]

Are there any recommended settings for the UK, handling DST too?

Also:
How the **** you setup the correct time?

 

[dave77]

So for the UK, is this correct?

 

[Phil]

Yes

 

[David]

I use these settings.

 

[dave77]

Yeah was wondering about the DST, you have 02 whilst i have 01. Do the settings use the non DST time, if so then 01 will be correct, if they use the DST time then 02 will be correct.

In the UK the clocks go forward 1 hour at 1am on the last Sunday in March, and back 1 hour at 2am on the last Sunday in October.

The period when the clocks are 1 hour ahead is called British Summer Time (BST). There’s more daylight in the evenings and less in the mornings (sometimes called Daylight Saving Time).

When the clocks go back, the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Yeah forward 1hr at 1am GMT and back 1hr at 2am BST (1am GMT), so for the end time is it 01 or 02? Both GMT for start/end would make more sense so it would be 01.

Sounds fine.
TBH it's never even crossed my mind.

I think those are the official times that UK DST changes, I have always setup my DST that way. Its a habit from working in global operations......
