Why is there currently 1 hour difference between GMT & Dublin time?

Spain is on CET or CEST. They are always one hour ahead of us.

Why do people not know this?

I was answering a thought experiment where Spain did not change it's clocks in Summer. I also quoted the text I was answering.

Thats the real local time, but we are talking about time zones. However if you ever find a map to buried treasure in, or around Dublin, from the mid 19th century ( or earlier) and it says to dig where a specific shadow is cast in the ground at 4pm on July 4th, dont start digging until 5:30 pm IST.

I know yeah but it's something a lot of people don't realise and kind of relevant to the thread. You've just used it yourself to describe how a time zone works.

Its all a bit confusing innit? Think I'll open another bottle of Rioja and not give a flying fook what the time is.

Spain would be on the same time as BST, and IST in Summer. YOu wouldn't have to change your clocks.

As it happens the east coast is actually GMT+ 20mins (or so) and the west coast 40mins (or so) but we use GMT as it's more handy.

Didn't bother looking for exact figures.

No, not that bit! The bit where some countries don't change to summer time.

France and Spain are one hour ahead of us. Let's say France uses a summer time setting but Spain doesn't. If I travelled to France in the summer I would set my clock one hour on. If you travelled to Spain in the summer, what time would you set your clock to?

The Irish summer time is IST. It follows the same change dates as BST but it may not in future.

By the way, the BBC world service transmits on GMT. So get to a radio and get weirded out by the fact that they think they are an hour behind.

OoooooH!

People in the equator don't change their times because they don't lose much daylight during the 'winter' months.

They lose the same amount of daylight in mid winter as mid summer.

This vertical and continental stuff is conspiracy stuff by the new world order - thats all

British Summer Time doesn't match GMT. GMT is fixed, as there are many countries the world over who sensibly don't bother with changing the clocks

It was a retarded post anyway never mind the spelling of vertical.

A strange thread.

Suggesting that the misspelling of "vertical" as "verticle" is widespread, but still wrong.

Its not that difficult to understand. GMT is constant, it doesn't change. Ourselves and the UK are on GMT during the winter, and move to GMT+1 during the summer. Similarly, France, Spain, Germany etc are on GMT +1 during the winter and move to GMT +2 during the summer

This.

this thread is hillarious!

It sure is confusing in today's IT world.

Some of my navigation apps need to be UTC [GMT] +1. However, apps depending on the accuracy of the nav gear must then be manually adjusted -1 to display the correct time.

Atomic clocks and satellites will also display UTC [GMT} +1 OR set UTC [GMT] and display the wrong time.

It also causes havoc on forums especially during breaking news or fast moving weather ~ posts are often taken as evidence of event time etc.
