Remember folks, it's that time of year again (if your time zone does it!), to put the clocks ahead an hour.

The official time is 02:00 on Sunday morning, Eastern Standard Time.

My computers do clock settings automatically...

...And I still wake up at 2:00 PM...

The end of daylight saving was last weekend for us. I forgot to put my clock back, so I turned up to the footy an hour early. Much better than an hour late though (we lost anyway :( ).

Well, if the official time is 2am EST, then we still have another 45 minutes, right? I haven't adjusted yet.

It's 2AM in whatever time zone you're in. I've switched already.

All European countries that observe summer time moved forward last week. In fact, EU countries are obliged to do so on the same date under EU law.

So, the time now in Sweden (and in the whole of the CET time zone) is UTC +2.
