By convention, the world's weather communities use a twenty four hour clock, similar to "military" time based on the 0° longitude meridian, also known as the Greenwich meridian. Prior to 1972, this time was called Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) but is now referred to as Coordinated Universal Time or Universal Time Coordinated(UTC). It is a coordinated time scale, maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures(BIPM). It is also known as "Z time" or "Zulu Time. " 9, record 1, English, - Coordinated%20Universal%20Time

In 1925 the numbering system for GMT was changed so that the day began at midnight, as did the civil day. Some confusion in terminology resulted, though, and in 1928 the International Astronomical Union changed the designation of the standard time of the zero meridian to Universal Time which remains in general use. The term GMT is still used for some purposes(navigation) in English-speaking countries. 3, record 5, English, - universal%20time

British Summer Time(BST) is the civil time during the summer months in the United Kingdom and Ireland during which the clocks are advanced from Greenwich mean time(GMT) by one hour. It was first established by the Summer Time Act of 1916, was amended by subsequent acts and is now defined by the Summer Time Order of 2002 which laid down that it would be... the period beginning at one o’clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the last Sunday in March and ending at one o’clock, Greenwich mean time, in the morning of the last Sunday in October. 2, record 6, English, - British%20Summer%20Time
