Clocks change 2018: Which way do the clocks go tonight? Do clocks go forwards?

The clocks are to change tonight as it becomes British Summer Time (BST), which often happens on the last weekend in March.

But which way do they go? In the spring, the clocks always go forward meaning the evenings become much lighter.

However this means that people will lose an hour of sleep, meaning an earlier night is needed.

In October, they go back to move to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), meaning Britons get an extra hour.

Britons wanting to change their clocks themselves will need to do it on Sunday March 25 at 1am.

The change means it will become 2am instead on the Sunday.
