About Halesowen Time Zone
Halesowen uses the Europe/London IANA time zone, the same zone used across most of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland for civil time. In standard time, Halesowen operates on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), UTC+0. During daylight saving time, it switches to British Summer Time (BST), UTC+1.
Daylight saving time in Halesowen follows the UK and wider European pattern: clocks usually move forward on the last Sunday in March and move back on the last Sunday in October.

That means local time in Halesowen is one hour ahead of UTC through the summer period, which affects call scheduling with North America, the Middle East, and Asia because the gap changes seasonally.
