What a clock change does to a day

On the day a region moves onto summer time its civil day is 23 hours long. On the day it moves off, the day is 25 hours long and one hour occurs twice. Meridian draws the day that actually exists rather than assuming a fixed grid, which is why the board shows 23, 24, or 25 columns depending on the date.

See local time by city for the transition dates that apply to a specific place.
