Why do we use DST?
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls at a later clock time. The main purpose is to make better use of daylight by having the sun rise and set later. This practice is observed by over 70 countries worldwide.
The 30-Minute Exception
While standard DST transitions are exactly 60 minutes, Lord Howe Island (Australia) uses a unique 30-minute shift. This rare adjustment makes it one of the most interesting time zones for horologists and researchers.
