The days of sunsets after 5 p.m. will soon be behind us in Wisconsin.

That’s because we’re about two weeks away from the end of Daylight Savings Time in 2024. The sunset on November 1, 2024 is expected to occur around 5:42 PM. The next day, when we “fall back” to standard time, it will be an hour earlier. Prepare for it.

Here’s a quick guide to daylight saving time in 2024.

When does Wisconsin fall back in 2024? When should you change your clock?

Daylight Saving Time ends on November 3 at 1 a.m. CDT, as sunrise and sunset occur an hour earlier.

When will Wisconsin jump ahead in 2025?

Daylight Savings Time begins on March 9, 2025 at 1 a.m. CDT and returns on November 2 at 1 a.m. CDT.

When is the shortest day of the year in 2024?

The shortest day of the year falls during the winter solstice, which this year falls on December 21, according to Space.com. The winter solstice is the point at which the sun’s path in the sky is furthest south. During the winter solstice, the sun takes the shortest path through the sky, resulting in the day with the least amount of sunlight.

How does daylight saving time work?

Daylight saving time occurs when we move our clocks forward one hour to take advantage of more sunlight in the spring, summer and fall evenings, according to timeanddate.com.

In the fall, daylight saving time usually ends and our clocks return to standard time. During the “fall back” we gain one hour, so the day of the transition lasts 25 hours.
