Daylight Saving Time 2026: When Do the Clocks Fall Back?
Farmers Almanac ^ | na | na

Posted on 11/01/2026 1:17:26 AM PDT by Morgana

Quick Reference: Daylight Saving Time 2026

* DST 2026 status: In effect right now. Clocks sprang forward Sunday, March 8, 2026 at 2:00 a.m.

* Next time change (Fall Back): Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 2:00 a.m. (2:00 a.m. becomes 1:00 a.m.)

* Congress: The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act (H.R. 139) on July 14, 2026, 308 to 117. It is with the Senate Commerce Committee and is not law. Clocks fall back on November 1 unless that changes.

* Spring Forward 2027: Sunday, March 14, 2027 at 2:00 a.m.

* US rule: Second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November

* Set by: Uniform Time Act of 1966, as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005

* Not observed in: Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands

* Correct spelling: Daylight Saving Time (no ā€œsā€)

I don’t fault the Dems much for anything as it basically in their genes, like bears crapping in the woods, that’s what they do. Aristotle set the precedent on this...

However the RINOs have a choice in DST and 1000 other things, a thinking person cannot hate these sellouts enough and it’s way beyond term limits and other nonsense. The only thing that would help would be a Great Collapse and a civil war, a terrible alternative. /rant over

Especially in places like Grorgia

In December, sunrise in Indianapolis is 8 a.m.
If Indiana stayed on DST, it’d be 9 a.m.

I hate daylight savings time. I thought for sure we'd never get our hour back this time. But we did. Thank G-d! Although this may be the last time.

Some of you who want year round DST (like we had in 1974) may find out afterwards that it isn't nearly as wonderful as you think.

Some of my atomic clocks change and some don’t. Never figured out why when they are all set to DST.

Look closer, there may be a setting such as wave on or off, or maybe not, atomic clocks seem to be hit or miss.

The safety of children headed to school in the dark must be a consideration.

My Lab and barn cats don’t know what daylight savings time is.
