Holidays like Halloween and Labor Day are major events around this time of year, but there’s another to be on the look out for.
After several months, Georgians’ clocks will need to change in the not-too-distant future as daylight saving comes to an end. Here’s what we know:
Is it daylight saving time or “daylight savings time?
The correct term is daylight saving time. The technical explanation is that the word “saving” is singular because it acts as part of an adjective rather than a verb, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
When do the clocks fall back for 2025 time change?
Daylight saving time will end on Nov. 2 at 2 a.m., at which time it will reset to 1 a.m.
Will we lose an hour or gain an hour when daylight saving time ends?
In the fall, clocks fall back one hour. You will gain an extra hour of potential sleep or play. In the spring, clocks spring forward one hour. You will have lost an hour when you wake that morning.
Why do we change the clocks every year?
According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the idea behind daylight saving time was to give us more daylight during the summer evenings and then move it back to give us more daylight during winter mornings.
What states observe daylight saving time?
Georgia is among the majority of states that observe daylight saving time, but there are exceptions. Hawaii and parts of Arizona do not participate in daylight saving time. The territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands also do not participate.
When is the first day of fall?
The first day of fall, also known as the autumnal equinox, September equinox or the fall equinox arrives on Monday, Sept. 22 at 2:19 p.m.
