Luckly my supervisor told me yesterday that UK time will turn one hour back, which means the time difference between Malaysia and UK time is 8hrs, no longer 7hrs. For clarification, I just added two clocks (Malaysia and Glasgow) in my blog.
The reason is daylight saving time (DST) comes to an end on October 26, 2008. Basically, Daylight Saving Time (or summertime as it is called in many countries) is a way of getting more light out of the day by advancing clocks by one hour during the summer. During Daylight Saving Time, the sun appears to rise one hour later in the morning, when people are usually asleep anyway, and sets one hour later in the evening, seeming to stretch the day longer. The reason DST works is because its saves energy due to less artificial light needed during the evening hours—clocks are set one hour ahead during the spring, and one hour back to standard time in the autumn. Many countries observe DST, and many do not.
Therefore, the coming DST begin on Sunday, 29 March 2009, 02:00:00 and end on Sunday, 25 October 2009, 01:59:59.
Well, about weather here, winter is approaching, average temp now is about 6-8°C
