More sleep! The clocks go back on Saturday night

The clocks go back one hour in the early hours of Sunday morning as the Netherlands and most of western Europe move into winter time.

The shift into winter time does not mean a change in the weather, however. The KNMI weather bureau is forecasting more overcast, wet days well into November.

Next week in particular will be grey, with rain most days and temperatures around 14° and little chance of sunshine.

The clocks will go forward again on the last Sunday in March next year.
