Understanding Daylight Saving Time Changes in 2025

When does the time change in 2025? Daylight saving time could end permanently 🔗

The U.S. has observed daylight saving time since 1918, but some Texas legislators say it disrupts safety and productivity. Here's the history behind the practice.

In 2025, daylight saving time will begin on March 9 and end on November 2, when clocks will be set back one hour at 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. Daylight saving time (DST) was first implemented during World War I to maximize daylight usage and has since evolved in its observance. Recent discussions have arisen about making DST permanent, particularly in Texas, where a bill aiming to eliminate clock changes has been signed but cannot take effect without federal approval. Supporters of permanent DST argue it would reduce confusion and enhance productivity, while opponents raise health concerns.
