Kids are returning to school and the feel of fall is in the air with cooling temperatures and earlier sunsets. The clocks too, will fall soon.
Here’s when daylight saving time ends in 2025.
When do clocks fall back this year?

Will we lose an hour or gain an hour?
In the fall, clocks fall back one hour. You will gain an extra hour of potential sleep or play.
In the spring, clocks spring forward one hour. You will have lost an hour when you awake that morning.
