Following an extended winter, many in the UK are looking forward to longer days as 2026 progresses. The clocks will 'spring forward' on Sunday, March 29, marking the start of British Summer Time (BST). While this brings later sunsets, it also delays sunrises initially.
Before the time change, several UK locations will experience pre-6am sunrises. At Ness Point in Lowestoft, the most easterly point in the UK, the sun will rise before 6am from approximately March 19. Edinburgh will see its first pre-6am sunrise on March 26, Glasgow on March 28, London on March 22, and Cardiff on March 28.
After BST begins, Ness Point residents must wait until around April 14 for the sun to rise before 6am again. In Edinburgh, the next such sunrise is predicted for April 19, while Londoners can expect it on April 18. Cardiff will see it on April 24, and Glasgow on April 21.
