đ Time to spring forward: At 2 a.m. Sunday, clocks will move forward one hour
Daylight saving time starts this weekend. We officially âspring forwardâ Sunday morning at 2 a.m., so make sure you set your clocks forward an hour before you head to bed on Saturday evening.
Although losing an hour of sleep and having our shortest weekend of the year is not favorable, it does give us more daylight in the summer. Sunset will be an hour later on Sunday, setting at 7:28 p.m., and sunrise will come an hour later at 7:33 a.m.
Sunday also marks one week before the official start to astronomical spring which begins on March 20. This is when the Vernal Equinox takes place and most places around the globe receive 12 hours of sunlight.
We will be on daylight saving time from this Sunday through Sunday, Nov. 6, when we âfall backâ and get that hour of sleep back.
