3.2.4.3 DST and UTC, GMT
Neither UTC, nor GMT ever change to Daylight Savings Time (DST). However, some of
the countries that use GMT switch to a different time zone offset during their DST
period. The United Kingdom is not on GMT all year, but uses British Summer Time
(BST), which is one hour ahead of GMT, during the summer months.
Additional information about regional time zones and DST can be found on the following
