daylight saving
Seasonal time shift
Daylight saving is the practice of advancing clocks, typically by one hour, during warmer months so that evening daylight lasts longer.
The full phrase is daylight saving time or DST.
Most regions that observe it shift clocks forward in spring and back in fall.
The common form daylight savings (with an s) is widespread but considered incorrect by traditionalists.
