Daylight Saving Time

As Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, here’s a look at what you need to know.

Sure, you’ll get an extra hour of sleep when clocks “fall back” this weekend. But the end of daylight saving time this weekend also means much earlier sunsets.

While “falling back” mean an extra hour of sleep, it also means earlier sunsets — much earlier.

Clocks will soon “fall back” for the end of daylight saving time this week, but when exactly will the time change?

Fall is officially here in Chicago, which means the days are unmistakably getting shorter as nighttime hours will increase up until the winter solstice.

The days are getting longer, the sunsets are getting earlier, and soon, daylight saving time will come to an end: which means Illinois will “fall back” for 2024.

As sunsets continue to get earlier in the Chicago area, residents are beginning to prepare for the end of daylight saving time at the start of next month, though the time change may have effects on much more than our sleep.

Enjoy the final 6 p.m. sunset of the year, as meteorologist Kevin Jeanes from NBC 5 Storm Team reports that Monday marks the last time the sun will set at this hour until March 9, 2025.

With sunsets getting earlier and November fast approaching, another big change is still in store: the time change.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Chicago: sunsets after 6 p.m. will soon be a thing of the past.

Autumn is here, and that means it’s time for the clocks to fall back.

In less than a month, time will change and clocks will “fall back,” but what does that mean and what happens next?

Daylight saving time will soon come to an end, marking the official return to standard time in Illinois and many other states, but for some doctors and sleep experts, the changing of the clocks is a polarizing topic.

As the calendar flips to October and the Chicago area begins seeing cooler temperatures and chilly nights, it’s natural to wonder when daylight saving time will end.

With fall officially underway and days continuing to get shorter, it won’t be much longer until clocks “fall back” for the season as daylight saving time ends.

As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, the time is coming to “fall back.” But not all states observe daylight saving time, and some have introduced legislation to eliminate it entirely.

Daylight saving time remains a divisive issue nearly 60 years after the Uniform Time Act was passed in Congress, with some states still seeking to skip the twice-annual time change.

While legislation has been introduced numerous times to make daylight saving time permanent, where do things stand and will clocks “fall back” this year?

When does the fall season officially begin? It all starts with the autumnal equinox this weekend.

The days may be getting shorter, but Illinois’ fall colors are just starting to come alive. Northern Illinois will see peak foliage by the second week of October, with spots like Lincoln Park, Jackson Park, and Millennium Park offering stunning views.
