Time Change Alert: Daylight Saving Time Ends November 2, 2025

As autumn deepens, it's time to prepare for the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST) on Sunday, November 2, 2025.

 

At 2:00 a.m. local time, clocks will be set back one hour to 1:00 a.m., granting an extra hour of sleep and marking the return to standard time.

 

While many electronic devices adjust automatically, it's essential to manually reset analog clocks, appliances, and vehicle time displays to ensure accuracy.

 

Daylight Saving Time has been a fixture in the United States since the Uniform Time Act of 1966 standardized its observance.

 

However, the practice has faced increasing scrutiny in recent years.

 

In April 2025, former President Donald Trump urged Congress to make DST permanent, aiming to eliminate the biannual clock changes.

 

Despite these efforts, the initiative has stalled in Congress, leaving the current system intact for now.

 

As November 2 approaches, residents are reminded to adjust their clocks accordingly and take advantage of the extra hour of rest.

 

Additionally, this time change serves as a prompt to check and replace batteries in smoke detectors and other essential devices, ensuring household safety as the seasons change.

 

Local businesses are also reminding customers to update their clocks to avoid any scheduling mishaps.

 

For instance, the downtown coffee shop will open an hour later on November 2 to accommodate the time change.

 

Community events, such as the annual fall festival, have adjusted their schedules accordingly to ensure everyone enjoys the festivities without confusion.

 

Remember, "fall back" is the perfect time to not only adjust your clocks but also to prepare for the shorter days ahead.

 

Stay safe and enjoy the extra hour!
