of March. Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2
A.M. local time. So in the United States you would select Second, Sunday, March
and type 2 in the o'clock field.

the time zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving Time at the same
moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last,

ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).
