    The days are getting shorter, the beautiful fall colors have peaked across much of the state and temperatures are dropping as we approach the shortest day of the year on December 21st.

    And we’re just a few days away from the end of Daylight Savings Time 2024.

    Here’s what you need to know about the end of daylight saving time and the return to standard time.

    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 and marks the return to standard time.

    When do the clocks go back?

    When local time reaches 2 a.m. on November 3, the clocks will be turned back one hour to 1 a.m.

    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.

    What is daylight saving time?

    According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, daylight saving time occurs when “daylight” begins an hour later in the morning and lasts an hour longer in the evening.

    This keeps the daylight hour aligned with the time when most people are active outside. Daylight saving time should save energy as during the warmer months the majority of people will be outside and not at home, which saves energy.

    When is the shortest day of the year in 2024?

    The shortest day of the year marks the winter solstice, the first day of winter. This year it falls on Saturday, December 21, 2024.
