Questions
Do the clocks change on the same day everywhere?
No. The UK and Europe change together, the US and Canada change two or three weeks apart from them, and the southern hemisphere changes the other way round: forward in September or October, back in April.
What happens to meeting times when the clocks change?
For the weeks when one side has changed and the other hasn’t, the gap between them is an hour shorter or longer than usual. Each region’s page lists those weeks for the places people most often meet across.
