When Does Daylight Saving Time 2015 End For South Austin?

“Spring forward, fall back,” the old adage goes.

Daylight saving time 2015 ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, which means you’ll want to turn your clocks back by an hour before you go to bed Saturday night, Oct. 31.

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

As always, daylight saving time brings some good and bad news. The good: sunrise will be about an hour earlier and there will be more light in the mornings. The bad: sunset will also come early, and for many it will be dark by the time they leave the office.

The sunset on the first day of daylight savings time in South Austin? 5:43 p.m.  

From there, daylight will continue to dwindle over the next two months as winter approaches. How will your routine change as the days get darker?

The day before daylight saving time serves as an excellent reminder to change the batteries in their smoke alarms, according to the Austin Fire Department.
