3.2.4.3 DST and UTC, GMT
Neither UTC, nor GMT ever change to Daylight Savings Time (DST). However, some of the
countries that use GMT switch to a different time zone offset during their DST period. The
United Kingdom is not on GMT all year, but uses British Summer Time (BST), which is one
hour ahead of GMT, during the summer months.
