Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time, This upcoming weekend is the official switch back over to daylight saving time, so don’t forget to “spring forward.” At 2 a.m. March 11, the time will be moved forward by one hour.

What used to begin on the first Sunday in April and ended the last Sunday in October has slowly been extended to make for a longer period of daylight saving each year. This year it will run from March 11 until Nov. 4.

Twice a year, fire departments use the change to remind everyone to check smoke detector batteries. So don’t forget Saturday night before you turn in for the night to set your clocks forward one hour – and to check the batteries on your smoke detector.

Time Change

Time Change, On the 7th of November dayt, the time change will take place this fall. At exactly 02:00 am, people from across the United States will use their clock one hour.

So remember to reset your clock form 2:00 am to 1:00 am on that date. This procedure is called DST, first put into practice in the early 20th century, this was conceived in light of the argument that an extra hour of light to increase production in factories.

In 1966, Congress decided to standardize the practice after years of using DST and outside. And then years later they made a change and extended the time for daylight saving time for four weeks.
