Daylight saving time in the United States ends this Sunday, November 6, at exactly 2 AM, when you should set your clock back to 1 AM. Yes, you will gain an extra hour of sleep or, for partygoers, an extra hour of fun.
In the northern and northeastern parts of the country, the time change is the annual reminder that the cold is knocking at the door. The days become shorter, with the sun setting earlier. This first Sunday without daylight saving time, the sunset will be at 4:46 PM in New York.
Daylight saving time may become permanent
There is a movement to end this practice.
The U.S. Senate has approved the “Sunshine Protection Act” which would end the practice, and permanent daylight saving time would be adopted starting in November 2023. The bill needs to be approved by the House and signed by the president. So far, there has been no action on this from the House.
Just a small reminder: starting Sunday, the time difference between the eastern United States and Brazil will be 2 hours.
