New Zealand Daylight Saving officially begins overnight tonight so don't forget to put your clocks forward one hour before heading off to bed.

Technically, on Sunday morning (28 Sep), 2am will become 3am.

Daylight saving starts each year at 2am on the last Sunday in September, and ends at 3am on the first Sunday in April (which will be April 4 next year).

New Zealand first introduced daylight saving time in 1927.

The current times have been fixed since 2007.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand also reminds everyone that now is a great time to check you smoke alarms’ expiration dates and also check their batteries.
