Ho ur field.
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of March. All of the time
zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M.

to Ma rc h. The time you select in the o 'c lo c k field depends on your time zone. In Germany for
instance, you would select 2 in the Ho ur field because Germany's time zone is one hour
