Spring Forward
Later sunsets and more time for outdoor activities at the end of the day are on the horizon as daylight saving time begins in New Jersey.
Clocks, including those on electronic devices, automatically advance by one hour on Sunday, March 9 at two in the morning to signal the beginning of daylight saving time.
Mar 9, 2025 - Daylight Saving Time Starts
When local standard time is about to reach Sunday, March 9, 2025, 2:00 am clocks are turned forward 1 hour to Sunday, March 9, 2025, 3:00 am local daylight time instead.
Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour later on Mar 9, 2025 than the day before. There will be more light in the evening and less light in the morning.

What is Daylight Saving Time?
Between March and November, most Americans change their clocks by one hour in accordance with daylight saving time.
To account for extra daylight in the summer nights, we lose one hour in March (as opposed to gaining one in the fall). November is when we "fall back" to add extra daylight in the mornings.
When does daylight saving time end in 2025?
In 2025, daylight saving time will end for the year at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov.2. It will pick up again next year on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
