Daylight Saving Time 2024: Clocks to Spring Forward on March 10

The annual adjustment aims to extend daylight hours, despite ongoing debates and legislative attempts to make it permanent.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 10, 2024, marking the start of longer daylight hours until November 3.
The concept of DST, credited to George Hudson in 1895, was never intended for farmers but to save energy and money.
In 2018, California voters chose to keep DST year-round, but legislative efforts for permanent DST have stalled.
The Sunshine Protection Act, aiming to make DST permanent in the U.S., has yet to progress in Congress.
States like Arizona and Hawaii, along with U.S. territories, do not observe DST, reflecting varied national stances on the issue.
