In 2031, daylight saving time in the United States starts on Sunday, March 9, 2031 and ends on Sunday, November 2, 2031. At 2:00 AM local time on the first date, clocks jump forward to 3:00 AM, so that day has 23 hours. At 2:00 AM on the second date, clocks go back to 1:00 AM, so that day has 25 hours and the hour between 1:00 and 2:00 AM happens twice. Daylight saving time lasts 238 days, or 34 weeks. Since 2007 the rule has been set by the Energy Policy Act of 2005: daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. The change happens at 2:00 AM local time, which was chosen because it limits disruption to most people. Congress has considered proposals to change or end the clock change, so check current news for any update to the law. Hawaii and most of Arizona stay on standard time all year. The Navajo Nation in Arizona does observe daylight saving time. The U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands do not observe it either. The European Union and the United Kingdom change their clocks on the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October, which in 2031 is March 30 and October 26. Because the U.S. and Europe change on different dates, the time difference between the two shifts by an hour for a few weeks each year. Many countries, including India, Japan, China and Pakistan, do not use daylight saving time at all. Today is Friday, October 2, 2026. That is day 275 of 365 in 2026, in ISO week 40, with 90 days to go before the year ends. The next dates people plan around are Diwali on Saturday, October 10; Columbus Day on Monday, October 12; Halloween on Saturday, October 31. The moon is a Waning Gibbous tonight, with about 66% of its face lit.
