Understanding Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting clocks forward by one hour during the spring and back by one hour in the fall. Here's what you need to know:

• Why DST Exists: DST was introduced to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer, reducing the need for artificial lighting.
• How It Affects Time Zones: Not all countries observe DST, and those that do may start and end DST on different dates. This can create temporary changes in time differences between regions.
• Impact on Travel and Business: DST can affect flight schedules, meeting times, and even your sleep patterns. Always double-check time differences during DST transitions.
• How to Adjust: Use tools like MyClockTime to stay updated on DST changes and their impact on time zones.
