New Zealand Daylight Saving Begins

New Zealand begins daylight saving time on the last Sunday of September, when clocks in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch jump forward from 2:00am to 3:00am local time. The change moves New Zealand from UTC+12 to UTC+13, widening the gap with the United Kingdom to twelve hours until the UK’s own clocks go back in late October, at which point the difference stretches to thirteen hours. If you schedule calls between Wales and New Zealand, this is the first of two shifts in quick succession that will change your overlap window. The Chatham Islands move from UTC+12:45 to UTC+13:45 at the same moment. Daylight saving in New Zealand runs until the first Sunday of April.
