Daylight saving to end on Sunday

Daylight saving ends next Sunday when 3am becomes 2am.

The Department of Internal Affairs said today that people may find it convenient to put their clocks back by one hour before going to bed on Saturday, April 4.

As well as changing clocks, the end of daylight saving was an opportune time for people to check their household emergency plans and survival kits and home smoke alarms, the department said.

Daylight saving runs from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April. This year daylight saving will start on September 27.
