    When is summer time 2024? When should you reset your clock?

    The autumn chill hangs in the air as the days grow shorter and winter approaches for the old man, a sign that the clocks will soon fall back.

    The sun sets more than two minutes earlier every day until the end of daylight saving time, when it rises an hour earlier. Between the summer and winter solstices, daylight shrinks by almost six hours.

    When do we get an extra hour of sleep? Here’s what you need to know about daylight saving time in 2024.

    When does daylight saving time end?

    Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. on November 3, when the time will reset to 1 a.m. That brings us back to standard time and ends Daylight Savings Time (DST).

    Many devices, such as smartphones and computers, will automatically switch to standard time, but non-smart devices, such as microwave ovens and some car stereos, as well as any analog clock (those with hands) will likely need to be changed manually. .

    Will we lose an hour or gain an hour?

    In autumn the clocks go back one hour. You get an extra hour of potential sleep or play.

    In the spring the clock jumps forward one hour. When you wake up that morning, you have lost an hour.

    Remember: fall back; jump forward.

    When is the shortest day of the year 2024?

    This summer’s solstice gave us the longest day of the year on June 20, 2024, when we had a whopping 15 hours of daylight.

    Sunrises will come later and sunsets will become earlier and earlier as we reach winter, and there are fewer hours of daylight in general; the tilt of the earth means that the northern hemisphere points away from the sun.

    The winter solstice brings us the shortest day of the year on Saturday, December 21, giving us about nine hours and 19 minutes of daylight.

    What does daylight saving time mean?

    The end of summer time means that there is more light in the morning and that it gets dark earlier in the evening. Sunrise and sunset will be about an hour earlier on Sunday, November 3 than on Saturday, November 2.

    According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the idea behind Daylight Savings Time (DST) was to give us more daylight during summer evenings and then shift it back to give us more daylight during winter mornings.

    When do the clocks spring forward?

    Daylight saving time will start again when we jump forward on March 9, 2025.
