The clocks are due to go forward later this month
When the days become longer and summer is on its way, a bi-annual ritual must be adhered to where UK clocks are set to change.
According to the meteorological calendar, the first day of spring lands on March 1 and ends on May 31 - meaning we're well into a change of season. However, the astrological calendar tells a different story and states spring doesn't start until next week on March 20 and ends on June 21., Yorkshire Live reports.The Met Office explains astronomical sprig is defined by the Earth's axis and orbit around the sun, with both equinoxes and solstices.
Dubbed 'Daylight Saving time', the practice of advancing clocks makes use of 'summer time' and takes advantage of the longer daylight available then. It won't then go back until 2am on Sunday, October 27.
