Daylight Saving Time comes to an end this weekend, which means it’s time to “fall back.” Before you head to bed on Saturday night, November 1st, remember to set your clocks back one hour.
The time change officially takes place at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 2nd, marking the return to Standard Time. While many electronic devices update automatically, it’s still a good idea to double-check clocks in your vehicles, appliances, and wall clocks to make sure everything’s on schedule.
The extra hour of sleep may be welcome, but the earlier sunset can also mean darker evenings. Local safety officials encourage drivers and pedestrians alike to stay alert as visibility decreases during the evening commute.
It’s also a great time to test smoke alarms, replace batteries if needed, and review your home emergency plans—a simple seasonal reminder that can make a big difference.
So enjoy that extra hour, stay safe, and remember: we fall back one hour this weekend!
