With February ending and March coming in, winter is disapeared and spring is in the air.
A big signal of the season comes on the day we change the clocks forward for the start of daylight saving time.
Under the current daylight saving period, most Americans will drop an hour on the second Sunday of March and gain an hour on the first Sunday of November.
Here’s what to know about daylight saving time and when to change the clocks.
When does daylight saving time start in 2025?
Daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 9, at which time clocks “spring forward” and reset to 3 a.m.
Will we lose an hour or gain an hour?
In the spring, clocks spring forward one hour. You will have lost an hour when you awake that morning.
When does daylight saving time end in 2025?
In the fall, clocks recede one hour, offering an extra hour of potential sleep or play.
Daylight saving time closes on the first Sunday of November each year. This year the clocks are to reset an hour on Sunday, Nov. 2.
When are the longest and shortest days of 2025?
This summer’s solstice offers us the longest day of the year June 20, when we’re to see a whopping 15 hours of daylight.
The winter solstice is to bring us the shortest day of the year Dec. 21, giving us approximately nine hours of daylight.
Why do we change the clocks every year?
The idea behind daylight saving time was given us more daylight during the summer evenings and then move it back to give us more daylight during winter mornings.
