When Does Daylight Saving Time 2015 End?

"Spring forward, fall back." The date on which you'll need to change your clocks is coming up soon.


It is almost 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 Saturday night, Oct. 31.

Daylight Saving Time — called Daylight “Savings” Time by some — is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months, and back again in the fall, to make better use of natural daylight.
