    Across the Midwest, fall colors are coming in, the Jack-o-Lanterns are coming out, the air is getting cooler and the days are getting shorter.

    Illinois is less than three weeks away from the end of Daylight Savings Time (DST).

    This year, clocks in most of the United States were moved forward one hour at 2 a.m. local time on March 10. Hawaii and Arizona do not observe daylight saving time, and the clocks do not change there. However, the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona observes daylight saving time.

    Canada moved its clocks forward one hour on the same date, but most European countries started daylight saving time on March 31.

    When does daylight saving time end?

    Daylight saving time ends on November 3, 2024 at 2 a.m. That is the first Sunday in November. This marks the return to standard time.

    When does daylight saving time end in 2024?

    According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. In 2024, Illinois clocks will be set back one hour at 2 a.m. on November 3. In 2025, daylight saving time will resume on March 9 and end on November 2.

    Your smartphones, computers and smartwatches automatically adjust to the time change. But if you have appliance clocks, old-fashioned clocks or analog watches, don’t forget to adjust them manually.

    When will daylight saving time become permanent?

    Lawmakers in the United States have been mulling over a measure to make daylight saving time permanent since 2018, when Senator Marco Rubio introduced the Sunshine Protection Act, which would eliminate seasonal changes. Several versions of the bill have been introduced, but none have passed the U.S. House of Representatives. Rubio introduced an updated version of the Sunshine Protection Act in the 118e Congress last March. The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.

    U.S. federal law continues to prohibit states from making daylight saving time permanent.

    There seems to be a general global trend towards abolishing seasonal changes. The Pew Research Center noted that about half of the world’s countries no longer observe daylight saving time. The most recent countries to abolish daylight saving time are Azerbaijan, Jordan, Namibia, Russia, Samoa, Syria, Turkey and Uruguay. Mexico abolished daylight saving time in 2022, but major cities near the U.S. border were exempt from the change. Egypt has abolished and reinstituted daylight saving time on several occasions.

    When is the shortest day of the year in 2024?
