This year, the clocks went forward on March 29 and since that time the UK has used British Summer Time (BST) which is one hour ahead of the UK’s Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
In the UK during the summer, the country has a maximum of 16 hours and 50 minutes of daylight on the summer solstice.
During the winter solstice, this dwindles to just seven hours and 49 minutes.
The changes in time help to ensure people are awake to enjoy the most of these daylight hours.
This year, the clocks will turn back on October 25, at 2am.
