Clocks Fall Back: Gain an Hour, Lose Evening Light
1 Nov
Summary
- Daylight saving time ends Nov. 1, with clocks turning back one hour.
- Most electronic devices auto-adjust, but manual clocks need resetting.
- Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight saving time.
Daylight saving time concludes at 2 a.m. local daylight time on Sunday, November 1, 2026, as clocks are set back one hour to 1 a.m. local standard time. This shift effectively creates a 25-hour day and brings sunrise and sunset approximately one hour earlier by the clock. While many modern electronic devices will automatically adjust, traditional clocks, watches, and some household appliances may need to be reset manually.
Not all regions observe daylight saving time. Hawaii and the majority of Arizona remain on standard time year-round, with the Navajo Nation in Arizona being an exception. Similarly, several U.S. territories do not participate in the time change. Daylight saving time is scheduled to resume on Sunday, March 14, 2027.
