Spring Fever!
Last Friday, March 21, marked the traditional
start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. This means that the
clocks are about to go forward and the evenings will be getting a lot
lighter! That's right - it's this weekend that summer time begins across
Europe!
Warmer weather on the way?
European Daylight Savings Time takes effect and moves to summer time each year on the last Sunday in March - that's this Sunday, 30 March at 03:00. It may be useful to know that the changeover date is different elsewhere in the world; for instance, the US and Canada have been on summer time for three weeks already as their changeover date is the second Sunday in March, moved forward in 2007 as an energy-saving measure.
But now it's Europe's turn; don't forget to set your clocks, watches, mobile telephones, VCRs and satellite receivers forward by one hour on Sunday morning.
For all the dates worldwide, see the INFOrmation Page on Daylight Savings Time. And now find out what spring weather is on the way...
The AngloINFO Weather page gives you the forecast at locations across the country. You can also personalise the weather page to suit you: set a particular place as your default weather location and it will appear automatically each time you load up the page. (It'll also be the location for the weather report you get on the site's front page.)
Find out:
- The temperature
- How the temperature actually feels (taking into account elements such as wind-chill and humidity)
- Whether it's sunny, cloudy, raining, foggy...
- The UV index, dew point, humidity, wind-speed and direction, air pressure and visibility
- A seven-day forecast for the location, giving you the likely general conditions, high/low temperatures, wind, humidity and the likelihood of rain
