Daylight Saving Time 2015: How Early Will the Sun Set in Tewksbury?

It is almost time to “fall back” into Standard Time, which means it will be getting dark earlier as we head into the winter months.

Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, which means you’ll want to turn your clocks back before you go to bed Saturday night, Oct. 31.

Sunset in Tewksbury on Nov. 1 will be at 4:38 p.m.

Daylight Saving Time 2015 is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural daylight.

The good news for the early risers is that sunrise will be about an hour earlier and there will be more light in the mornings, but it also means sunset will be earlier. But that’s not all, the daylight will dwindle over the next two months as we head into winter.

Fire officials also remind residents when you set your clocks back is always a good time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and make sure they are in working order.
