Some Americans won't change their clocks in November: why not everyone in the US will switch to daylight saving time

On Sunday, November 5, at 02:00 a.m. local time, millions of Americans' clocks will be set back an hour—exactly how much longer we'll be able to sleep that night, which will mark the end of Daylight Saving Time in 2023. But some Americans will not be affected. Why - the publication found out USA Today.

However, in March 2024, we will move our clocks forward an hour, thereby reducing our sleep by that hour. From then on, daylight saving time will begin.

This change occurs twice a year and is observed by most, but not all, residents of the United States.

So what do you need to know about which regions of the United States do not observe daylight saving time and why?

Do all states observe daylight saving time?

Not all US states and territories adopt daylight saving time.

Hawaii and Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation) do not observe daylight saving time, as do the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

On the subject: How did the transfer of time in the USA begin

Due to its desert climate, Arizona does not observe daylight saving time. After much of the US adopted a uniform time law, the state decided there was no point in changing the clocks to set the sun to set an hour later during the hottest months of the year.

The Navajo Nation, located in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, switches to daylight saving time.

Hawaii is another state that does not observe daylight saving time. Due to its proximity to the equator, there is little difference in daylight hours throughout the year.

Do all countries observe daylight saving time?

In addition to the United States, other countries in North America, Europe, and parts of Africa and Asia observe daylight saving time during the Northern Hemisphere summer, and in some parts of South America and Oceania during the Southern Hemisphere summer, that is, vice versa.

When will Daylight Saving Time end in 2023?

Daylight saving time will end on Sunday, November 5 at 02:00 local time. In 2024, it will begin on March 10 and end on November 3.

We add one hour in November (as opposed to losing one hour in the spring) to increase the amount of daylight in the mornings. When we "move forward an hour" in March, it is to increase the amount of daylight in the evenings during the summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, the autumn equinox occurs on September 23 and marks the beginning of the fall season.
