The clock is ticking and the end of Daylight Saving Time, when we turn our clocks back one hour, is just a few days away.
Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024, when the clock will “fall back” one hour and, in theory, give us one extra hour of sleep.
The amount of daylight has continued to decrease slightly each day since summer began on June 20. The last sunset later than 7 p.m. in New Jersey was on Sept. 19. Saturday will be the last day where the sun will set at 6:30 p.m or later in most of the state.
The flip side is that the sun will rise approximately one hour earlier each morning after we return to standard time in early November. On Nov. 2, sunrise in New Jersey is at approximately 7:29 a.m. and sunset is at about 5:53 p.m. The next day the sun comes up at 6:30 a.m. but sets at 4:52 p.m.
