About BST

BST (British Summer Time) is the daylight saving time used in the United Kingdom during summer months. It is based on British Standard Time with an adjustment of UTC+01:00, meaning it is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

BST is used mainly in the UK during warmer months to make better use of daylight. In winter, the UK switches back to GMT (UTC+00:00).

BST is followed in major UK cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Liverpool during the daylight saving period.
