Day: Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends on the last Sunday in October for Jersey, one of the Channel Islands between England and France.
History: DST was first introduced during World War I to save fuel by reducing the need for artificial lighting. It has been used in various forms ever since. In Jersey, as part of the British Isles, the practice aligns closely with that of the United Kingdom.
Traditions: While there are no specific traditions associated with the end of DST in Jersey, it marks a return to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This shift is often associated with shorter daylight hours and is a reminder that winter is approaching.
What People Do: On this day, residents of Jersey turn their clocks back one hour at 2:00 am, gaining an extra hour of sleep. It's also an opportunity for people to check and replace batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms—a safety habit promoted by fire services. As evenings become darker earlier, people begin to adjust their daily routines accordingly.
