Daylight saving time will begin on Sunday, March 8th and will last until November 2nd. This will result in longer days and brighter evenings as we move into the spring and summer months. Clocks will jump from 1:59 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Sunday, marking the start of daylight saving time in the U.S.
The practice of daylight saving time has been in effect since 1918, with efforts to extend summertime daylight hours by pushing off sunset an hour. While some states and localities initially rejected the practice, it was reinstated during World War II. Since the Uniform Time Act passed in 1966, daylight saving time has been standardized, with changes to the dates occurring over the years.
Some states, such as Hawaii and most of Arizona, do not observe daylight saving time and do not change their clocks twice a year. Legislation has been proposed in the U.S. Senate to make daylight saving time permanent year-round, but it has stalled in the House of Representatives.
Many other countries around the world also observe some form of daylight saving time or summer time, but not all do so on the same schedule as the U.S. Some health experts suggest that aligning with solar time could reduce traffic accidents and crime rates, while others argue against having longer days year-round.
Overall, the issue of daylight saving time remains contentious, with different opinions on its benefits and drawbacks.
