Double British Summer TIme is what it is called, I think. And yes you ar eon the right track. And in sunny New Mexico, the sun is still shining, over night lows are at freezing, and the days are mid 50s to high 70s, under blue windless skies. Somewhat different from Somerset where I was born and grew up.
