Reminder: Daylight Saving ends 18 March

13/03/2007

New Zealand Daylight Saving will end on Sunday 18 March 2007 when 3.00am becomes 2.00am.

People may find it convenient to put their clocks back by one hour before going to bed on Saturday 17 March.

As well as changing clocks, the end of Daylight Saving is an opportune time for people to check their household emergency plans and survival kits and home smoke alarms.
