Day: Daylight Saving Time (DST) in Bermuda typically begins at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March, when clocks are set forward one hour to 3:00 AM. This practice is in alignment with many regions in North America.
History: The concept of DST was widely adopted during the 20th century, primarily to make better use of daylight and save energy. In Bermuda, as a British Overseas Territory, the practice has been adopted to align with major economic partners like the United States.
Traditions: Unlike many holidays that involve specific traditions or celebrations, the transition into DST is usually more functional than festive. It is a reminder for residents to adjust their clocks before going to bed on Saturday night or upon waking up on Sunday morning.
Activities: On this day, Bermudians prepare for longer evenings of sunlight which can be used for various outdoor activities such as enjoying Bermuda's beaches or engaging in sports. Some may also take the opportunity to check and replace batteries in household devices like smoke detectors – a safety practice encouraged by fire departments.
It is important for individuals and businesses to remember this time change to ensure that appointments and schedules are maintained correctly following the shift.
