Daylight Saving Time Set to Spring Forward in 2025

In 2025, Americans will once again adjust their clocks for Daylight Saving Time, with the spring forward set to occur on March 9. This annual event, where clocks move forward by one hour, aims to make better use of daylight in the evenings. However, the practice remains controversial, with several U.S. states considering legislation to abandon the time change altogether.

Recent discussions in states like California, Florida, and Oregon have highlighted a growing interest in making Daylight Saving Time permanent. Proponents argue that eliminating the biannual clock change could benefit the economy and improve public health by providing more consistent daylight hours. Critics, however, raise concerns about the impact on morning routines and energy consumption.

As the debate continues, the Uniform Time Act ensures that the majority of the United States will still observe Daylight Saving Time in 2025. Residents are encouraged to prepare for the time shift, which can affect everything from sleep patterns to technology settings.
