Daylight saving time ends Sunday, November 1

Hoosiers are reminded to turn their clocks back one hour this weekend as daylight saving time comes to an end.

Daylight saving time officially ends Sunday, November 1st, at 2am local time, when clocks will move backward one hour to 1am, marking the return to standard time.

The change means an additional hour overnight, along with earlier sunrises and sunsets in the coming months.

Indiana has observed daylight saving time statewide since 2006. Most of the state operates on Eastern Time, while 12 counties, including Starke and La Porte counties, observe Central Time.

Residents are encouraged to adjust clocks that do not update automatically before going to bed Saturday night.

The National Weather Service also recommends using the time change as an opportunity to check the batteries in smoke detectors and NOAA Weather Radios.

Daylight saving time will return Sunday, March 14th, 2027, when clocks move forward one hour.
