Is it still BST?

No, locations are not currently on British Summer Time (BST).

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  • British Summer Time (BST) is a daylight saving time observed in the United Kingdom.
  • It is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+1).
  • BST is observed during the summer months.
  • Currently, locations that would observe BST are still at UTC+1, but are using a different time zone name (likely "British Standard Time" - but that's not confirmed from provided text). The crucial point is that they are no longer officially designated as being in "British Summer Time."

In summary, while the offset is still UTC+1 which is the same offset as BST, locations are currently not observing British Summer Time because it is not currently the summer season in the UK.
