"Daylight saving starts" Clocks will move forward one hour again in much of Australia this weekend

Clocks will move forward one hour again in much of Australia this weekend, marking the start of summer and the start of daylight saving.

Daylight saving starts at 2.00am AEST on Sunday 6 October 2024. Set your clocks forward one hour to 2.00pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time AEST)

Clocks will move forward one hour. That is, at 2.00 am AEST, the hour hand should move to 3.00 am AEDT.  

On Sunday 6 April 2025, your clocks will go back one hour at 3.00am (Australian Eastern Daylight Time AEDT)

It's the beginning of summer. Temperatures begin to warm, and sunsets linger. 

States and territories that observe daylight saving are:

  • Australian Capital Territory
  • New South Wales
  • South Australia
  • Tasmania
  • Victoria.

States and territories that do not observe daylight saving are:

  • Western Australia
  • Queensland
  • Northern region.

Do the clocks change elsewhere?

Under EU law, clocks in all member states go back one hour on the last Sunday in October and go forward on the last Sunday in March. Clocks change at the same time in the European Union.

Ireland has the same time as the UK and Portugal. It is one hour behind Central European Time used in most of the European Union.

When do the clocks go back?  

Clocks go back one hour at 2.00am on the last Sunday in October:  i.e. clocks go back in Europe: 27 October 2024

Clocks go forward one hour at 1.00am on the last Sunday in March.  That means 30 March 2025 date clocks go forward in Europe:

Winter will end on Sunday 30 March 2025 at 1.00am GMT.

In the United States and Canada, DST begins at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, while in Australia, the clocks go back on the first Sunday in April and the first Sunday in October.

Countries like China, Japan and India do not follow DST.

Why change?

As the Earth orbits the Sun and changes its exposure, the clocks change to make the most of natural light.

In winter, when it's naturally darker, the time goes back an hour, which means an extra hour curled up in bed. However, during the summer, the 'great stretch of evenings' is enjoyed, as clocks going forward an hour make longer evenings.

The impact of the change varies, with countries that experience more hours of darkness from the equator benefiting more from the system.
