Which raises the question: Will the ol' saying some day be changed to Winter forward, fall back? But let's not add yet another divisive issue to our national dialogue. For now, write yourself a sticky note: Daylight Saving Time 2017 begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 12, and at that instant, your clocks will jump to 3 a.m. And you can say so long to Standard Time for about eight months. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the current Daylight Saving Time timetable. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended the period for Daylight Saving Time by four or five weeks annually, depending on the calendar.
Clocks Back or Forward? âSpring forward, fall backâ is one of the little sayings to help remember which way to set your watch. You set your clock forward in the spring when DST starts (= lose one hour), and back one hour when DST ends in the fall (= regain one hour). USA, Central America, Canada, Europe, Asia, northern Africa. Many countries in the Northern Hemisphere (north of the Equator) use DST in the summer time, but not all. Daylight Saving Time usually starts in March-April and ends in September-November when the countries return to standard time.
