Or, for those boring old manual clocks, you will have to put them forward an hour yourself. Alternatively, feel free to save time now and manually add an hour in your head every time you check the time, then after a few weeks get around to actually changing them, then spend a few weeks confused about whether you changed them or not and if you still need to add an hour and checking the time on your phone to make sure.

    Well, because the daylight time switches are on different dates, you would have to adjust 1 hour, then another hour a month later, then 6 months later adjust an hour, then a month after than another hour 😆

    Here’s a table to describe that:

    Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
    Ottowa TZ -5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -5 -5
    Canberra TZ +11 +11 +11 +10 +10 +10 +10 +10 +10 +11 +11 +11
    Time difference 16 16 15 14 14 14 14 14 14 15 16 16
    Time difference, date-independent 8 8 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 8 8

      Holy smokes that’s super confusing. I get it, but I guess I’ve just not really ever thought about it.

      Now I’m glad I do t have any Australian friends. :P
