Daylight Saving Time Ends: When to Fall Back in 2024

 

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, it’s time to prepare for the end of daylight saving time (DST) in 2024. This year, DST will officially end on Sunday, November 3, 2024. At 2 a.m. on this day, clocks will “fall back” one hour, giving us an extra hour of sleep and marking the return to standard time.

The practice of daylight saving time, which involves setting clocks forward by one hour during the warmer months to extend evening daylight, has been a part of our lives for many years. However, as we transition back to standard time, mornings will become brighter, and evenings will get darker earlier.

This change can affect our daily routines, so it’s a good idea to adjust your schedule accordingly. Remember to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night, November 2, to ensure you’re on time for any Sunday activities.

Enjoy the extra hour of sleep and the cozy, early evenings as we move into the winter season!
