=============================
When does daylight saving end in New Zealand?
Daylight saving time ends every year at 3am on the first Sunday in April.
That means it ends this year at 3am on Sunday, April 7.
Do the clocks go forward or back?
That's right, clocks go back for the winter, from 3am to 2am.
That means you get an extra hour's sleep-in and it won't be as dark when you wake up in the morning - at least for a while.
It also means the sun will go down an hour earlier in the evening, so if you've got outside chores to complete, get them done faster.
How do I change the time on my phone?
You probably won't need to, because most smart phones will adjust to time zones automatically.
Here's how to check if your smartphone does that:
Android: Go into the clock app, tap more and then go into settings. Then go into change date and time, select set time zone automatically and then select use location to set time zone.
iPhone: Open settings, select general, to go date & time and make sure set automatically is turned on
Samsung: Open settings, go to general management, select date and time and then make sure automatic date and time is turned on. This should mean your phone will automatically reflect the time depending on where you are.
Why do we have daylight saving?
Because the Earth is on a tilt (of about 23 degrees, for those curious), we are exposed to more sun during summer and less during winter.
That means the days are longer during the warmer months and shorter in the colder months.
Daylight saving is intended to make the most of those long daylight hours. It means an extra hour of light on summer evenings, rather than super early in the mornings when hardly anyone is awake to enjoy it.
How long have we been doing this?
New Zealand first observed daylight saving in 1927.
However, the dates that clocks went forward and back, and the amount of time they were changed, varied over the following years.
In 1941, daylight saving was extended year-round under emergency regulations to help save energy during World War II.
Five years later, daylight saving time (or summer time as it was then known) was adopted as standard time, effectively discontinuing daylight saving.
In 1975, daylight saving was introduced again.
It was extended to its current dates — from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April — in 2007.
When will daylight saving time start again?
Clocks will go forward one hour at 2am on Sunday, September, 29.
Do other countries observe daylight saving?
They do, but they're in the minority. About two thirds of the world's countries do not change their clocks throughout the year, according to Pew Research.
The practice is most popular in Europe, where 37 out of 44 countries observe daylight saving, and it's also observed in parts of North America, Latin America and Australia.
Egypt is the only African nation with daylight saving after bringing it back in 2023.
Countries close to the equator do not usually change their clocks as the length of their days does not vary enough throughout the year to justify it.
What if I'm working when the time changes?
The rules around getting paid for working during daylight saving time are set out in the Time Act 1974.
It says that if you're working when clocks go back an hour, you are entitled to be paid for that extra hour.
For example, if your shift started at 10pm and finishes at 6am, you will have actually worked nine hours and must be paid for nine hours of work.
If you're working on 29 September when the clocks go forward, you are still entitled to be paid for your normal hours. In this instance, a 10pm-6am shift will only mean seven hours of work, but you must be paid for eight.
I've changed the clock on my microwave — what next?
Daylight saving is a good time to check the batteries on your smoke alarm by pushing the test button to sound the alarm.
Check the alarm's expiry date too — most last a maximum of 10 years — and give the cover a clean to avoid false alarms from dust buildup.

Speaking of home, you neighbour's van was broken into last week and he lost his tools and a lot of materials that will take time to replace. Plus you cant park it outside your house anymore as your street looks like Wilson Parking.
Another issue is that you work on several different projects during the day and it takes a long time to drive back to base to pick up the materials and right tools for the next job.

A woman was located later in the evening with injuries and is continuing to receive medical treatment this morning. Detective Inspector Callum McNeill, of Waitematā CIB, says three people arrived at a Sunnyhaven Avenue property in a vehicle just before 7.30pm.
“An altercation has occurred, with the female occupant of the address being forced into the vehicle.
“As this has unfolded a firearm has been discharged, and this has been the subject of multiple reports from neighbours to Police.”
A large amount of Police resource deployed into the area after 111 calls were received, including the Police Eagle helicopter.
The vehicle was not located, however later in the evening Police responded to Mackay Drive in Greenhithe.
“A woman was located with injuries outside an address, and we have established that it is the victim from Beach Haven.
“She has sustained injuries and is in a stable condition, receiving treatment.
“These injuries are not in relation to the firearm being discharged.”
Detective Inspector McNeill says he acknowledges members of the community who quickly contacted Police to report information.
“We have been speaking to a number of witnesses in the area, and this will continue.
“I know this incident will be alarming to the Beach Haven community, and we are treating this matter very seriously.
“What I can say at this stage is that we are following lines of enquiry into this matter and those responsible.”
A cordon in place at the Beach Haven address has since been stood down, however a Police presence will remain around the North Shore communities, Detective Inspector McNeill says.
“The public will continue to see our staff in the area in response to what has occurred.
“We are asking anyone that has information and hasn’t yet spoken to investigation staff to come forward.”
Anyone can contact Police on 105 or go online to www.police.govt.nz... - Please reference the file number 240402/3715.
Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
