DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
Don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour on Sunday, March 14. The transition officially happens at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time.
Starting in 2007, daylight time begins in the United States on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. On the second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the first Sunday in November, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time. These dates were established by Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Pub. L. no. 109-58, 119 Stat 594 (2005).
Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not use it. Indiana adopted its use beginning in 2006.
2010 Daylight Savings Time begins Sunday March 14 and ends on November 7
