Daylight Saving Time
|
|
Setting your clock ahead one hour of standard time
provides more daylight at the end of the day during
late spring, summer, and early fall. Daylight Savings
Time provides significant energy savings, more
accessible daylight hours for those working outdoors,
such as farmers, as well as a safer commute home for
most workers.
Recently in the United States, daylight saving time
had been observed from the first Sunday in April to
the last Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it
will be observed from the second Sunday in March to
the first Sunday in November, adding about a month
to daylight saving time.
Most areas in Arizona, Hawaii and the U.S. territories
of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and American
Samoa, do not observe DST, but instead stay on "standard
time" all year long.
The rule to remember when setting your clocks is,
spring forward one hour in the spring, and fall back
one hour in autumn.
