When Do the Clocks Go Forward in 2030?

The clocks go forward on Sunday, 31 March 2030, which is the last Sunday of March in 2030 and the latest the date can fall.

A late date

Sunday, 31 March 2030 is on the very last day of March, the latest possible date for the change. The date ranges from 25 to 31 March because it is tied to the final Sunday of the month.

Because it falls so late, Easter in some years can also be close, and bank-holiday travel plans can overlap with the loss of an hour of sleep.
