Daylight Saving Time is here again!
O horário de verão, é chamado em inglês, summer time (no Reino Unido) ou daylight saving time (nos EUA). Quando começa, você turn/move/set clocks forward/ahead (relógios são adiantados), e quando termina, você set/move/turn clocks back (relógios são atrasados).
So remember: spring = forward – fall = back!
