It is a phrase used to help people remember which way to adjust the clocks when switching between daylight saving and standard time.
"Spring forward" takes place in the Spring of the year and means you adjust the clock one hour forward.
"Fall back" happens in the fall (autumn) and means you adjust the clock backward one hour.
Advancing clocks by an hour during the summer months has the effect of shifting an hour of daylight that we're sleeping through in the morning to the evening when we're active. That conserves resources by decreasing the time that we light our homes. Some argue, however, that the savings from the decreased use of lighting in the evenings are cancelled by the cost of the increased use of air conditioning in the afternoon. Perhaps as prices continue to drop on compact fluorescent lights and LED lights Daylight Saving Time will soon be a thing of the past.
That is a mnemonic device to help people remember which direction to adjust their clocks for Daylight Saving Time (a.k.a. Summer Time). Normally Daylight Saving Time starts in the spring; at that time clocks are advanced one hour (except for one island in the south Pacific Ocean that adjusts their clocks a half hour ahead for Daylight Saving Time). At the end of DST in the fall, clocks are adjusted backward one hour.
In Daylight Saving Time, you turn your clocks forward in the spring and backward in the fall.
Remember to "spring forward, fall back" for daylight saving time. In spring, set the clock forward one hour; in fall, set it back one hour. This phrase helps you remember which way to adjust your clock.
"Spring forward" refers to the practice of advancing the clock by one hour during the spring season to make better use of daylight. This time adjustment is typically done in regions that observe daylight saving time.
The opposite of "spring forward" is "fall back," which refers to the practice of setting the clocks back one hour in the autumn when daylight saving time ends.
For spring daylight saving time, you set the clock forward. This means you move the clock ahead by one hour to account for the longer hours of daylight in the evenings.
The duration of Spring Forward is 1.83 hours.
