Sundials are one hour slower in the summer in places that use Daylight Saving Time. They aren't slower 'due to GMT'. GMT, or standard Universal Time, (UCT, I believe) remains the same all year regardless of where you are; GMT is not adjusted for Daylight Saving Time. You could, of course, turn your sundial to adjust for Daylight Saving Time, but if you are that interested in accurate time, you probably would not rely on a sundial.
Some of the problems with using sundials include their reliance on sunlight, which makes them ineffective at night or on overcast days. They also require regular adjustment due to changes in the position of the sun throughout the year. Additionally, their precision can be affected by factors such as location, terrain, and the accuracy of the sundial's design.
Sundials are not as accurate as modern timekeeping devices due to variations in the position of the sun throughout the year and changes in daylight saving time. They also rely on clear skies and sunlight, so they are not effective during cloudy or nighttime conditions. Additionally, sundials can be impacted by shading from buildings or trees, affecting their functionality.
Sundials rely on sunlight to function, so they are not accurate on cloudy days or at night. They may also require frequent adjustment due to the Earth's changing position relative to the sun throughout the year. Additionally, inaccuracies can arise from variations in the sundial's orientation or location.
A sundial in the north pole would have a steeper and shorter gnomon compared to sundials in lower latitudes. The spacing of the hour markers in a sundial in the north pole would be same; the hour lines would be 24 hours.
Clocks change twice a year due to Daylight Saving Time. This practice is intended to make better use of daylight during the longer days of the year by moving an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.
Clocks do not actually go slower in summer and faster in winter. However, the perception of time passing differently in these seasons may be due to factors such as increased daylight hours in summer leading to more activities, and shorter days in winter which may make time feel like it is passing more quickly.
Pendulum clocks can become slow in summer due to expansion of materials in warmer temperatures, which can affect the length of the pendulum and thus the timing of the clock. As the pendulum lengthens, it takes longer to complete each swing, leading to a slower overall timekeeping.
They used sundials to keep track of time using the sun. At "high noon", the sun was at its highest point, and in such a position that made the stick's shadow point at 12, then every "hour" after 12, they marked the dial in the other 11 places, making the first sundial. Sundials have advanced to use a triangle with a concavely curved side, and roman numerals instead of rocks and such. Also, they couldn't have minute hands due to the fact there couldn't be a second shadow for a second object in the center.

Temperature affects the length of the pendulum rod, causing it to expand in the summer and contract in the winter. This changes the period of the pendulum swing, making it faster in colder temperatures and slower in warmer temperatures.
Sound typically travels faster in warm air, such as during summer, due to warmer temperatures causing air molecules to move more quickly. In colder air, such as during winter, sound travels slower as the molecules are slower.
It was cancelled after three episodes due to appalling ratings, however the remaining episodes were aired in the summer of 2013.

time period of a pendulum is given by;T=22/7(l/g)^1/2 where l is length of a pendulum i.e; time period is directly proprotional to the square root of length. in summer, length of pendulum increases due to increase in temperature and hence time increases & increases in time means the clock runs faster
Regions near the Arctic Circle, such as parts of Norway, Alaska, and Canada, experience 24 hour daylight during the summer months due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This phenomenon is known as the Midnight Sun.
Greenland experiences 24-hour daylight during the summer months due to its location near the Arctic Circle. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible above the horizon for 24 hours a day.
