It’s time to “spring forward” once again. In March, millions of Americans will turn their clocks and lose an hour of sleep as daylight saving time begins.
Here’s what to know about when we “spring forward” and begin daylight saving time in 2024.
When is daylight saving time 2024?
Daylight saving time will begin on Sunday, March 10, 2024 at 2 a.m. local time, when clocks will go ahead one hour.
In 2024, daylight saving time will end for the year at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 3. It will pick up again next year on Sunday, March 9, 2025
What is daylight saving time?
Daylight saving time is the time between March and November when most Americans adjust their clocks by one hour.
We lose an hour in March to accommodate for more daylight in the summer evenings. When we “fall back” in November, it’s to add more daylight in the mornings.
What states don’t observe daylight savings?
Not all states and U.S. territories participate in daylight saving time.
Hawaii and Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation) do not observe daylight saving time, and neither do the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
