As the fall season approaches, it’s important to prepare for the end of Daylight Saving Time. In 2025, clocks will be set back one hour on November 2.
Daylight Saving Time Ends in 2025
On November 2, at 2 a.m., residents of Michigan will gain an extra hour as we transition back to standard time. This change means that sunrise and sunset will occur an hour earlier. For those with manual clocks, remember to set them back before going to bed on November 1.
Understanding Daylight Saving Time
- Correct term: It is “Daylight Saving Time,” not “Daylight Savings Time.”
- Purpose: The time change is intended to optimize daylight hours for outdoor activities.
- Energy savings: Longer evening daylight is meant to reduce energy consumption.
Preparing for Winter
The winter solstice will occur on December 21 at 8:03 a.m. EST. This event marks the shortest day of the year for the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in progressively shorter daylight hours until then. Post-solstice, days will gradually lengthen until mid-June.
Future Time Changes
Looking ahead, Daylight Saving Time will resume on March 8, 2026, also at 2 a.m. Clocks will move forward an hour, pushing sunrise and sunset later into the day.
Make sure to adjust your clocks and enjoy the extra hour this fall. For more information and resources, check out El-Balad.
