Clocks move forward one hour in the Netherlands tonight as summer time begins

The clocks will go forward one hour in the early hours of Sunday. This marks the start of summertime. The clocks go forward at 2 a.m. on Sunday and will remain at this time until October 27, when it reverts back to winter time.This results in longer days and shorter nights. Moving the clocks forward is something that most European countries do. It has been a subject of debate for many years.
