Fall is bringing shorter days to Michigan and in just over two weeks, it’ll be time to turn the clocks back an hour as we return to standard time.
Daylight will continue getting shorter each day leading up to the end of Daylight Saving Time on Nov. 2.
Here’s what to know about Daylight Saving Time.
When does DST end in 2025?
Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 2, the first Sunday of November. Clocks will be set back one hour, making sunrise and sunset each an hour earlier.
What is Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight Saving Time, often called daylight savings time, is when “daylight” begins an hour later in the morning and lasts an hour longer in the evening, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The clock change allows the hour of daylight to stay coordinated with the time most people are active outside. Daylight saving time is supposed to save energy, since during the warmer months the majority of people will be outside and not home, which saves energy.
Is it daylight saving or daylight savings?
While it is often referred to as Daylight Savings Time, Daylight Saving Time without the “s” at the end is the correct term.
When will DST begin in 2026?
Daylight Saving Time will begin again at 2 a.m. March 8, 2026, the second Sunday in March. Clocks will be set forward 1 hour, leading to sunrise and sunset coming an hour later.
When is the winter solstice, the start of winter?
The winter solstice, when the northern hemisphere tilts farthest away from the sun, takes place at 8:03 a.m. EST on Dec. 21. Michigan and the Northern Hemisphere will see less and less daylight each day until then. After that day, there will be more sunlight each day until mid-June.
