When is daylight saving time 2024?
Daylight saving time ends yearly at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November. In 2024, we’ll return to standard time on Nov. 3.
This means that when clocks reach 2 a.m. local time, they should be set back one hour to 1 a.m. While many devices such as phones and computers will automatically change to standard time, you’ll still have to remember to change the time on your non-smart devices: microwaves, analog clocks, some car radios, etc.
