When do we "fall back" for daylight saving time 2024 and why does the time change twice a year

The end to daylight saving time is just around the corner, meaning clocks in most parts of the U.S. will "fall back" one hour on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024. Here's what to know about daylight saving time, and why we change our clocks twice a year.


When is daylight saving time?

Daylight saving time, when we turned our clocks forward one hour, began on March 10 this year. Daylight saving ends on Nov. 3, when clocks get turned back one hour.

The switch happens at 2 a.m. local time.

The history of daylight saving time

Time zones in the U.S. were established by the Standard Time Act in 1918, which also introduced daylight savings, according to the U.S. Astronomical Application Department, a part of the U.S. Naval Observatory. The law was so controversial, daylight saving time was repealed in 1919, reinstated during World War II, and went on to become a state and local decision.

But, now that I think about it, the government meddles in everything including how the earth goes around the sun :tears:

I absolutely dread this time every year knowing it's going to be completely dark out by 5 pm.
