You Won't Believe When Daylight Saving Time Ends in 2024!

According to an official announcement from the United States Department of Transportation, the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 2024 will be on Sunday, November 3rd. This means that your clocks will "fall back" by one hour, giving you an extra hour of sleep that night.

Why does DST end?

Daylight Saving Time is a seasonal adjustment to the clock that is used to make better use of daylight hours. During the summer months, when days are longer, DST moves the clocks ahead by one hour, giving people more daylight in the evenings. In the fall, when days are shorter, DST moves the clocks back by one hour, giving people more daylight in the mornings.

When did DST start?

Daylight Saving Time was first implemented in the United States during World War I as a way to conserve energy. It was later abolished, but was reinstated during the 1970s energy crisis. Since then, DST has been used in the United States every year, except for a brief period in the early 1980s.

Is DST going away?

There have been several proposals to eliminate DST in recent years, but none of them have been successful. The U.S. Department of Transportation is currently conducting a study on the potential effects of eliminating DST. The results of the study are expected to be released in 2023.
