What Time Will Sun Set In Rhode Island As Daylight Saving Time Starts

RHODE ISLAND — Clocks “spring forward” Sunday for the beginning of daylight saving time, and that means an extra hour of sunshine at the end of the day for the next nine months. The sun will set at 6:47 p.m. Sunday evening in Rhode Island

Why not get out there and enjoy it? Here are three things to do around town before the sun goes down:

1. Paint pottery in Barrington
2. Tour Rhode Island's oldest Irish Cemetery during Irish Heritage Month (Newport)
3. Tiverton Farmers' Market.

Possible examples mentioning specific locations: take a bike ride, walk, hike; go golfing; pick up trash/clean up your neighborhood

Keep in mind that sunrise will be an hour later than you’re accustomed to with the beginning of daylight saving time. Sunrise Monday is at 7:05 a.m. in Rhode Island.
