What is 'winter time'?
'Winter time' is the period when clocks are set back an hour from British Summer Time (BST). This means the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) for the colder months. The change aims to bring more daylight to the mornings, though it results in earlier sunsets in the evenings, which many find a bit gloomy.
