Daylight Saving Time Ends On Sunday, November 3rd

This coming Sunday, November 3, 2024, marks the end of daylight saving time as clocks will roll back one hour at 2 a.m. local time, returning the nation to standard time. The annual adjustment is set to bring earlier sunsets and extended morning light, signaling the approach of winter.

Residents are encouraged to set their clocks back an hour before going to bed on Saturday night to avoid any confusion on Sunday. The time change offers a perfect opportunity to check household safety devices such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms, ensuring batteries are fresh and the devices are functioning correctly.

As daylight saving time ends, the sun will begin setting earlier in the day, ushering in darker evenings that will gradually lengthen as winter progresses. The seasonal shift brings colder temperatures, making it an ideal time to prepare for winter weather and adjust daily routines to account for the reduced daylight.

Daylight saving time will return in the spring when clocks “spring forward” once more to extend evening light during the longer days of summer.
