Daylight Savings Time (DST)
DST, also called Daylight Saving Time, is the practice of temporarily
advancing clocks during the summertime so that evenings have more
daylight and mornings have less. It has been introduced as a method of
saving energy. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start
of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn. DST is currently observed in
many countries, details vary by location.
