It’s that time of year again \u2014 the end of daylight saving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To get you up to speed, here’s a quick rundown about what happens where you are and when.<\/p>\n
When does daylight saving end in 2026?<\/p>\n
Daylight saving will end tomorrow, April 5 at 3am AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time).\u00a0<\/p>\n
That means at 3am, your clock will jump backward to 2am AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time).<\/p>\n
Are the clocks going forward or backward?<\/p>\n
The clocks will move back by one hour.<\/p>\n
Most clocks linked to the internet, such as smartphones, computers and TVs, will automatically adjust to their relevant time zones.<\/p>\n
But some clocks, such as the ones on your oven and microwave, will most likely need to be manually adjusted.<\/p>\n
