Labor Day is almost here, and so is the first day of meteorological fall. What's next? Changing clocks for the end of daylight saving time.
The nights are getting longer again. Soon, leaves will start changing color, and the sun will set even earlier once we set our clocks back one hour.
When does daylight saving time begin and end in 2025? When do we have to change the clocks? Why do we do it? Here’s what to know.
When does daylight saving time end in 2025? When do the clocks change back?
Daylight saving time will end on Nov. 2, 2025, according to USA Today. Most of the United States will "fall back" and gain an extra hour of sleep the night the clocks change.
When does daylight saving time begin in 2026?
Daylight saving time will begin again on March 8, 2026.
Why do we have daylight saving time? Why do the clocks change?
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the general idea of daylight saving time is to make better use of natural daylight and conserve energy during the summer months.
What happens when daylight saving time ends?
When daylight saving time ends, it means it’s time to set our clocks back one hour.
Unlike spring and summer, when we get more sunlight, we have longer nights during the fall and winter. The sun will set earlier in the day for the remainder of the fall, thanks in part to the time change, making it darker earlier in the day.
Before long, it will be time to start paying closer attention to the winter weather predictions for Ohio and the rest of the United States.
When is the first day of fall?
The meteorological start of fall is Sept. 1. This year, that date coincides with Labor Day 2025.
Astronomical fall arrives a bit later in September, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.
When is the autumnal equinox? When is the official first day of fall?
The autumnal equinox happens on Monday, Sept. 22, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. It will occur at 2:19 p.m. ET and will occur at the same time worldwide.
