Daylight Saving Time November 2025

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2, 2024, at 2 A.M.

At 2 A.M., the clocks turn back one hour.  Sunrise and sunset will be one hour earlier, allowing for more morning light.

Although U.S. states have different time zones, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. for everyone, regardless of their time zone. As a result, in some states, Daylight Saving Time starts earlier than in others.

The mnemonic used to remember how Daylight Saving Time works is “Spring forward, Fall back”. This means that in the Spring the clocks go forward one hour – from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. – and in the Fall, they are set back one hour again – at 2 a.m. they go back to 1 a.m. 

Why do we have Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Saving Time was created to better utilize daylight and conserve energy.

Did you know…

Daylight Saving Time starts every year on the second Sunday of March, at 2 A.M.  Until 2005, Daylight Saving Time was observed from the first Sunday in April until the last Sunday in October. President George W. Bush ordered it to be extended for four weeks, and in 2007, Daylight Saving Time was officially set to run from the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday of November.
