Daylight saving time: When the clocks change this fall
The start of fall means it's time to worry about moving your clocks back an hour.
The U.S. experiences varying seasons across its vast geography, but fall is approaching for many. As temperatures drop, football season begins, and new iPhones launch, it's time to prepare for the transition out of Daylight Saving Time 2026. You might be wondering exactly when this occurs; with the start and end of DST often catching us off guard each year.
Fear not, as we have the answer: DST in 2026 will conclude on November 1, with clocks being set back from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. overnight. This means you'll gain an additional hour of sleep. However, this rule does not apply to areas that do not observe DST, like Hawaii and most of Arizona. For the rest of us, we'll need to adjust our clocks manually after a longer-than-usual night of sleep.
Furthermore, any internet-connected devices, such as smartphones and laptops, will likely update their time automatically. Yet, if you own an older car or rely on a stove clock, remember to move it back an hour on November 1.
