With daylight saving time starting in New Jersey, later sunsets and more time to enjoy outdoor activities at the end of the day are just around the corner.
On
Sunday, March 10, at two in the morning, clocks, including those on digital devices, automatically advance by one hour to mark the start of daylight saving time.
The sun will set around 6 p.m. in New Jersey on March 9. The following day, after the time shift and the end of standard time, sunset is at 7 p.m. The sun will, however, rise nearly an hour later — at about 7:16 a.m. on Sunday, March 10, after coming up at 6:18 a.m. on Saturday, March 9.
Meanwhile, each day's sunset occurs at a little after 5:45 p.m., and the sunrise occurs just after 6:30 a.m.
The second Sunday in March marks the start of Daylight Saving Time, which is commonly mislabeled as Daylight Savings Time. It ends on the first Sunday in November.
At 11:06 p.m. EDT on March 19, it is the
spring equinox.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 2024?
In 2024, daylight saving time will end for the year at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 3. It will pick up again next year on Sunday, March 9, 2025.
