People again set them back by one hour when autumn returns. It is the practice of moving clocks forward by one hour during warmer months so that evening daylight lasts longer. It’s that time of the year when people in about 70 countries follow Daylight Saving Time (DST). The United States is among the 70 countries that use Daylight Saving Time, but Hawaii and most of Arizona don’t use it. When the time changes, 2:00 am turns back to 1:00 am. India does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) and follows Indian Standard Time (IST) year-round at UTC +5:30.
For most of the US, clocks will “fall back” one hour on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 2:00 am (local time), according to Time And Date .
It appears that this practice won’t be followed for a long time, as lawmakers in Washington have debated ending the practice of changing clocks twice a year for some time. the bill has stalled in the Senate Although the House of Representatives has passed legislation like the Sunshine Protection Act to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Because a law has not passed yet, federal rules remain unchanged, meaning seasonal clock shifts are here to stay for now.
