The recording I have heard has the usual three pips, but with two seconds between the second and third pips: https://twitter.com/womump/status/815976395906174976 (i.e. the pips at the end of the minute were :58, :59, :00 as usual!) > Ordinary domestic radio-controlled clocks adjust themselves at some > convenient time later.

My radio clock resets at 01:00 which seems inconveniently early to me - I haven't checked exactly how it handles the summer time changes. I also have a cheap little bare MSF receiver, but it's essentially useless during the day. It works OK in the night (better atmospheric conditions) which is good for watching June leap seconds.
