British Summer Time Lands In Digbeth

It's just hit midnight on the 27th March 2022, and something strange has just happened, almost out of Back to the Future. It actually happens twice per year in most places, but not everywhere. Some people say 'Spring Forward & Fall Back' to remember the sequence. Figured out what it is yet? 

We have in fact just mysteriously lost 1 hour and your watch / phone has jumped from 01:00 to 02:00. Dont worry, you have not just been abducted by aliens or been thrown into a time warp, It is of course British Summer time.

Although we may not notice anything happen when the event occurs, you will certainly know something is different by 19:00 on Sunday. Simply look outside your window or go for a walk and you will note our big hot yellow friend is still in the sky (aka the sun).

We now have the exciting prospoect of lighter evenings for the next 6 months, in fact we gain about 1 minute extra per day of sunlight from now until the summer solstice, Tuesday 21st June 2022. We then start losing sunlight from 22nd June until Sunday 30th October 2022, when the clocks 'fall back again'.

If you are always forgetting, here is a lttle guide to help you out for the next few years;

Year Clocks go forward Clocks go back
2020 29 March 25 October
2021 28 March 31 October
2022 27 March 30 October
2023 26 March 29 October

 

If you are looking for things to do while the weather is warm and the flowers are in bloom, we would of course recommend popping into the best beer garden in Birmingham for a cold craft beer or sweet frozen cocktail while listening to those summer tunes.
