Daylight saving time is nearly here. Why are we still changing our clocks?

Daylight saving time is nearly here. Why are we still changing our clocks?

No one can deny San Diegans love sunlight. With the darker winter months of the year behind us, San Diegans can thank March’s daylight saving time (and the earth’s position as it revolves around the sun) for a whole other hour of those sweet, sweet solar rays.

Daylight saving time has Americans in every state except for Hawaii and Arizona moving their clocks an hour forward on Sunday, March 10 at 2 a.m. At that point, time will automatically more ahead to 3 a.m. Time travel!

The hours of daylight have been steadily growing since the Winter Solstice (the first day of winter). Thus, the evening of March 10 will come with a later sunset, and sunrise and sunset times will be about one hour later than the day before, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

The sun will rise at 7:04 a.m. on the morning of March 10, whereas the sun rose at 6:06 a.m. on March 9, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. On that first evening of DST, the sun will set at 6:53 p.m.

By the time summer truly sets in on June 20 (first official day of summer), sunset time in San Diego will stretch all the way to 8 p.m.!

On July 7, sunset time will revert to 7:59 p.m. and grow steadily earlier as the daylight saving time period recedes, according to NOAA.

If you prefer more daylight, try to get as much as of it as you can before Nov. 3, when the clocks “fall back” again.
