Summertime

Summer

Summer or summertime is the hottest and brightest of the four temperate seasons, occurring after spring and before autumn. Starting on the summer solstice, daylight hours are the longest and darkness hours are the shortest, with day length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, summer is usually defined as starting on June 21 or 22, and ending on September 22 or 23; and in the Southern Hemisphere, as the period between December 22 or 23 and March 20 or 21.

Daylight saving time

Daylight saving time (DST), also referred to as daylight savings time, daylight time, or summer time, is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer by having darkness fall at a later clock time. The typical implementation of DST is to adjust clocks ahead of standard time by one hour in spring or late winter, and to set clocks back by one hour in the autumn.
