GMT and summertime.

[Fafnir]

How is the GMT working with Summertime. Do you turn the clock aswell? Got confused talking here at work about it.

 

[Helme]

Yeah they turn the clock aswell, only they call it BST(British Summer Time).

 

[Xandax]

GMT does not have summer time.

Britain does have summer time, but then they run GMT+1 as mentioned above BST.

It goes forward in march or april i think, i don't know. We get 1 hour less in bed though.

 

[Levin]

BST=GMT+1 hour
CET summer= CET winter +1 hour

GMT = CET winter -1 hour
BST = CET summer -1 hour

Basicly, they use BST as summertime - where we just use CET+1 as summertime. So 17:00 hours in Sweden will always be 16:00 hours in England, no matter the time of year.

At least that's how I think it works.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Aye, GMT is always GMT, it doesn't even have a +/- state! Spawn of satan!

And yes, the BST is just so the Brits can stay in the same "universe" with the rest of the world as they hogged the best timezone way back when.

What's worse is that it will cut off 60 minutes from my Lanzarote vacation!

 

[Roalith]

Sleep? What is this sleep you speak of?

Hehe, some would consider that a bonus! Fuertaventura ftw!

You know, the thing you do when you get in your coffin until the evil daylight disappears and your fellow creatures of the night are free to roam the lands again.

 

[Ezteq]

i wish i was a damn creature of the night tbh, im sick of going to bed at like 20:00hrs lol

GMT as such is the universal code to figure out time. gmt is 0 compared to other time zones (so a +9 timezone is gmt+9 hours). Never changes as said a couple of times.
