It’s time to turn our clocks one hour backward this weekend.

Manchester, along with most of the rest of the United States, will end Daylight Saving Time (DST) this coming Sunday, November 6, 2016.

Clocks will be set back 1 hour to standard time from 02:00 (2 am) to 01:00 (1 am), local time.Sunrise and sunset will be about one hour earlier on Sunday, November 6, than the previous day, providing more light in the morning, and a shorter evening.

The United States and Canada will start DST again on Sunday, March 12, 2017.

Almost all of the United States turn the clocks back one hour in the fall for Standard Time. Hawaii and most of Arizona are the only two US states that do not use Daylight Saving Time.

Recently, the state of Massachusetts signed a bill launching a study into permanently changing its time zone to Atlantic Standard Time (AST), leaving DST behind. In California, a bill that would have allowed Californians to vote on keeping or abolishing DST made it all the way to the state Senate before it was voted down. And in Alaska, a proposal to remove DST has been steadily advancing in the State Legislature.
