When does daylight savings start?

[Neenie1]

Is it this weekend?

Thanks for letting me know. I have been so busy lately I haven't had time to watch the news but I thought I may have heard something on the radio this afternoon?



Is anyone getting any rain. I think we are in for a doozy of a storm tonight. It rained all day yesterday.


Bring it on I say

Yes - this weekend*

*unless you're in QLD where the weird govt doesn't want it because it upsets the cows or something.

 

[Lil'_Miss_Princess_Aimz]

yup... it starts tonight... at 2am precisely.... lol....

and yea, we had rain... lots of rain and thunder storms last couple of days (i'm in sydney).... scary driving in it, but it was an awesome light show

I thought QLD had tried daylight savings this year? (Or was it they were thinking about doing it next year? ).

In terms of rain...we were expecting it here (Newcastle/Central Coast), but it wasn't so bad. I think the storm passed over us and hit Aimz in Sydney hug.

Our state government have forced it upon us here in WA.
Like Qld, the majority of West Aussies dont want it.
Democracy? Ha!

Thank you - so clocks go forward right?

Anyway you are lucky if the storms missed you. I heard there was a twister in Lismore.

 

[Bamboo_Chicken]

Yup, forward an hour. 5am will now be 6am...which is going to make me feel like I'm finally getting up on time and not at random, ungodly hours of the morning.

So why would anyone be against daylight saving?? can't understand it. I can use the extra time of daylight every day and it saves power.

got to agree with that, if we didn't have daylight savings in tassie, the sun would already be starting to come up at 4.30, 5.30 is bad enough atm, but 4.30 i couldn't stand. so we get an extra hour after work, school, &c. to go to the gorge, go to the beach, have a barbecue, &c. and every hour of summer sunshine is precious in tassie.

but for now i'm glad QLD doesn't have daylight savings, as i'll be driving up to rockhampton from melbourne in december, so when i cross the NSW border, i will save an hour off my trip, meaning i can get up an hour later at glen innes.

Yep we did the forward one hour thing.


I am tired, I feel like I didn't get enough sleep.

You need to wait 6 months, until the clocks go back, and then you can catch up on that hour of sleep!

LOL, thanks for that.
