<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arabia Weather - Nearly 70 countries around the world use daylight saving time, including the United Kingdom, most countries in Europe, North America, and parts of South America, and as temperatures drop and the darkness of the night increases, many Britons are preparing to change clocks and activate winter time. This happens at the end of October every year</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>When does Britain start winter time this year?</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Britain will activate winter time this year on Sunday, October 29, 2023 at 12 a.m., and according to the Express website, the United Kingdom advances the clock by 60 minutes on the last Sunday of March to announce the start of daylight saving time, and in return, it postpones the clock by 60 minutes on the last Sunday. From October.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Where did the idea of applying winter time in Britain come from?</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Benjamin Franklin was the first to introduce the idea of changing clocks in the winter. His idea was to allow people to benefit from daylight in the morning instead of wasting it in the evening. This change was linked to economics and sustainability, as it would be possible to save huge amounts of money that used to be spent on candles on dark nights. This saving will benefit the entire city. This idea was implemented in earnest during World War I.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The time difference between Britain and other countries around the world</strong></h3><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Moscow - 2 hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Ottawa - 5 hours behind schedule</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Washington - 5 hours behind the time</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Beijing - 7 hours ahead</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Brasilia - 5 hours behind it</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Canberra - 9 hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> New Delhi - 4 hours + 30 minutes earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Buenos Aires - 4 hours behind schedule.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Algeria - There is no time difference</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Riyadh - two hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Mexico - 7 hours behind it</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Jakarta - 6 hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Khartoum - 1 hour earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Tripoli - 2 hours + 30 minutes earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Tehran - 1 hour ahead</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Pretoria - 1 hour behind time</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Nouakchott - two hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Cairo - 4 hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Islamabad - Two hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Ankara - two hours ahead</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Mogadishu - two hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Paris - 1 hour earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Sanaa - two hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Bangkok - 6 hours ahead</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Madrid - 1 hour ahead</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Stockholm - There is no time difference between the two countries</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Rabat - two hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Baghdad - 8 hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Tokyo - 1 hour ahead</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Berlin - two hours ahead</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Helsinki - 7 hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Kuala Lumpur - 1 hour earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Oslo - 1 hour earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Warsaw - 1 hour earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Rome - 1 hour earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Manila - 7 hours earlier</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Wellington - 11 hours ahead</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Muscat - 3 hours earlier</li></ul>
