Erm, I don't think UTC ever changes - it's the base from which all other zones 
are referenced, after all. The UK, where I am, is now on BST (basically UTC + 1) 
and my system reconfigured itself correctly over Sunday night.

Adjusting your clock manually isn't going to help - as you saw it just corrects 
itself. You need to investigate your NTP settings. You might need to restart 
your ntp server, perhaps.
