Reset the Clocks Southington: It's Time to Fall Back

This weekend is time to “fall back” into Standard Time.

Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, which means you’ll want to turn your clocks back before you go to bed Halloween night, Oct. 31 and enjoy that extra hour of sleep.

Daylight Saving Time 2015 is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural daylight.

The good news for the early risers is that sunrise will be about an hour earlier and there will be more light in the mornings, but it also means sunset will be at 4:53 p.m.

The daylight will dwindle over the next two months as we head into winter, which officially starts Dec. 20.

It is a good time to change smoke detector batteries and check to make sure device are in working order, according to fire officials.

Arizona, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa do not observe Daylight Savings Time.
