Daylight Saving Time 2025- All eyes are on the Daylight saving time (DST) which is soon coming to an end. The practice of moving the clock forward by one hour during the warmer month, typically spring and summer to extend evening daylight is known as the daylight saving time. The practice was adopted to reduce the need for artificial lighting in the evening.
In spring, clocks are moved forward by one hour and in autumn, they are moved back. DST is observed in several countries across North America, Europe, and parts of the Middle East where daylight varies seasonally. However, in the regions near equator, where daylight hours don’t vary much, the daylight saving time is not observed.
When is daylight saving time 2025?
This year, the Daylight saving time will end on November 2. It had started on March and will end next month. The clock will fall back at 2 am on November 2, 2025 and the time will be reset to 1 am, according to the practice. The purpose behind practising Daylight saving time is to make better use of natural daylight in the evenings. It also aims to save energy by reducing the need for lighting and heating.
The DST was originally introduced during WW1 to save energy during times of crisis. However, the effectiveness of DST remains debated today. According to Almanac, even after years of debate in Washington, US lawmakers have not agreed on whether to make daylight saving time permanent.
