Sat Nov 02 20:53:36 UTC 2024: ## Clocks Fall Back This Weekend: New England Prepares for Earlier Sunsets

This Sunday, November 3rd, at 2:00 AM, daylight saving time (DST) will come to an end. This means clocks will “fall back” one hour, resulting in an extra hour of sleep but also bringing earlier sunsets.

DST, which lasts from the second weekend in March to the first weekend in November, aims to save energy by maximizing daylight hours within a single day. This is why the sun sets later during the summer months.

However, with DST ending, the days will get shorter and darkness will arrive earlier in the evening. This signals the official arrival of winter in New England.

**Here’s what to remember about the time change:**

* **Clocks “fall back” at 2:00 AM on Sunday, November 3rd.**
* **This means that the hour between 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM will happen twice.**

While the extra hour of sleep might be welcome, remember to adjust your schedules accordingly and prepare for the earlier sunsets.
