Daylight saving time, time change, resetting and setting wall clocks in Florida

• Did Ben Franklin Invent Daylight Saving Time? He was probably one of the first to talk about it in the 1780s, presumably to save money on candles.
• The Sunshine Protection Act would permanently extend daylight saving time from 8 months to a full 12 months of the year.
• Election Day is Tuesday, November 5, 2024, two days after the daylight saving time transition.

Are we setting our clocks back this weekend?

Not quite! It is almost Time to reset the clocks. In just over a month we'll fall behind.

Despite efforts to resemble Arizona and Hawaii — and not observing daylight saving time in Florida — the centuries-old practice will end in November in 2024, on the first Sunday after Halloween.

Daylight Saving Time began in March, on the second Sunday of the month, when we set our wall clocks one hour to “Spring Forward.” In November, Daylight Saving Time “ends” and we set our wall clocks back an hour, or “fall back” – unless you live in a state or territory that doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time.
