Daylight Saving 2024: US returns to standard time. What is DST and what is its purpose?

Live Mint  

Daylight Saving 2024: The United States returned to standard time on Sunday, November 3, at 2:00 am. This adjustment, often called “spring forward”, and is aimed at extending evening daylight during the warmer months, making outdoor activities more accessible in the evenings. The shift to “fall back” provides an extra hour of morning sunlight, though it means earlier sunsets as we approach winter, aligning with the changing daylight hours in autumn and winter. Additionally, some US territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, also do not observe DST, due to their more consistent daylight hours year-round.
