Daylight Savings 2026
In short
Daylight saving time ends this Sunday, 1 November 2026, when clocks fall back by one hour. This change marks the return to standard time across many regions.
In plain words
People need to turn their clocks back one hour this weekend. m. on Sunday morning.
A simple example
On Sunday morning at 2 a.m., you should set your clock to 1 a.m. This ensures your time matches the new standard schedule.
Why it matters
The change affects daily routines, sleep patterns, and travel schedules. There is ongoing political debate about whether to make daylight saving time permanent to avoid these seasonal shifts.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse 'falling back' with 'springing forward'. In autumn, you fall back to gain an hour, whereas in spring, you spring forward to lose one.
