Today is the start of Daylight Saving Time. Overnight our clocks

shifted one hour ahead. Yesterday at this moment it was 8am but today it is 9am. The reason for doing this is to have an extra hour of sunlight in the evening so people use less energy lighting their homes. The clocks will stay like this until early November, when we move them back one hour again.

I like Daylight Saving Time because now my time zone is a 12 hour difference with China, so it is easy to remember what time it is for all my friends there 😊.

    Daylight saving time start again😄 From now on, your time there is 12 hours later than Beijing time, relative to 13 hours. It's more convenient and easier to calculate. Take care, thank you!

    @Wentti Yes, eastern time zone (New York City, etc) is now 12 hours difference with China. Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones are 1, 2, and 3 hours behind respectively
