West Midlands: Clocks Spring Forward This Weekend

0:00On March 26, residents in the West Midlands are getting a friendly nudge to set their clocks forward this weekend for the start of British summer. Time. At 1 a.m. on Sunday, March 29, clocks will spring ahead to 2 a.m. Cutting sleep short by 1 hour, but bringing back those longer. Brighter evenings. This shift promises more daylight for outdoor fun, evening commutes, and local gatherings as spring kicks in across the region. Digital devices like phones and computers usually adjust on their own, but manual ones on ovens, microwaves, and car dashes need a quick tweak Saturday night. Road experts warn drivers to watch out since messed up sleep can dull focus in the days after. Health advisors suggest betting down a bit earlier this week to smooth the transition, particularly for kids and folks on tight schedules. The clocks stay ahead until late October, letting everyone soak up the extra evening light.
