understand the time change in Georgia

As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, Georgians are once again preparing to change their clocks to daylight saving time.

This event, which sees clocks moved forward one hour in the spring and back one hour in the fall, has a significant impact on daily routines and schedules.

What does daylight saving time mean?

Daylight saving time is designed to make better use of daylight during the longer summer days. In spring, the clocks are set forward an hour so that there is more daylight in the evenings.

In the fall, clocks go back one hour from standard time, resulting in earlier sunrises and sunsets.
