Frequently asked questions
When do the clocks change in 2024?
It depends on where you are. The US and Canada change on the second Sunday of March and the first Sunday of November. The EU and UK change on the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October. The table on this page has the exact dates.
Which way do clocks go?
Clocks go forward one hour in spring, so you lose an hour of sleep, and back one hour in autumn, so you gain one. In the Southern Hemisphere spring falls in September and October.
Which countries do not use daylight saving time?
Most of Africa and Asia keep the same time all year, including India, China and Japan, and so do most countries near the equator. In the US, Hawaii and most of Arizona also stay on standard time.
How do I keep meetings right when the clocks change?
Set your working hours in a named time zone such as America/New_York rather than a fixed UTC offset, so they follow the local clock. Schedules in DaySchedule work this way. Read about availability schedules
