Daylight Saving Time Begins Sunday!

CLAS Daylight Saving Time Reminder image

Remember to set your clocks forward.

Most of the U.S. will be setting their clocks forward on Sunday, March 8, this year.

Which states/territories/etc. do not observe Daylight Saving Time?

American Samoa, Arizona, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands do not observe Daylight Saving Time. However, the Navajo Nation DOES observe Daylight Saving Time, even in Arizona. This is due to its large size and the fact that it is located in three states.

When does the time officially change?

In the U.S., clocks officially "spring forward" one hour, going from 1:59 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

Smoke Detectors - Remember to change the batteries

Many fire departments encourage you to change the batteries in your home's smoke detectors when you change your clocks, as a convenient way to keep track.
