Daylight Saving Time Ends November 1, Clocks Spring Back
Daylight Saving Time concludes on November 1 at 2 a.m., as clocks "fall back" to standard time, granting an additional hour and shifting daylight to earlier in the morning.
Terre Haute, IN, October 29, 2026 — The transition from Daylight Saving Time (DST) back to standard time is set to occur on November 1. At 2 a.m. local time, clocks will be turned back by one hour. This annual event marks the end of DST and the return to standard time, which is observed in many regions for the latter part of the year.
The primary effect of this change is the return of an additional hour to the day. When clocks “fall back,” individuals will experience an extra hour at the end of their day on November 1, as the time sequence will effectively repeat the hour between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m.
This shift also means that daylight will appear earlier in the morning. As the Earth’s tilt and its orbit continue, the period of daylight observed in the morning will become more pronounced with the return to standard time. Conversely, evenings will experience earlier sunsets compared to the period under DST.
The practice of adjusting clocks for DST has been implemented in various forms and durations across different regions. The official end date signifies a return to the time zone as it is designated without the seasonal adjustment. The timing for this change is standardized across participating areas to ensure a uniform transition.
The period of standard time will continue until DST is observed again, typically in the spring. The exact dates for the commencement and conclusion of DST can vary by region and are subject to legislative changes. For the upcoming transition on November 1, residents in affected areas are advised to adjust their clocks accordingly to reflect the change from DST to standard time.
