Daylight Saving Time 2024: When Does the Time Change? Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. To remember which way to set their clocks, folks often use the expression, “spring forward, fall back.” Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 2:00 A.M.

People in areas that observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) will set their clocks forward one hour from 02:00 (2 am) to 03:00 (3 am) local time on March 10, 2024. Standard time, also known as winter time, will resume on Sunday, November 3, 2024.

Daylight saving time will begin for 2024 on Sunday, March 10 at 2 a.m. local time, when our clocks will go ahead one hour, part of the twice-annual time change that affects millions, but not all, Americans.

Daylight saving time will officially end in North America on Nov. 3, 2024, when clocks fall back by an hour. In most of Europe, meanwhile, daylight saving time, or British Summer Time as the U.K. calls it, ends on the last Sunday in October (Oct. 27, 2024).
