When Do We Turn The Clocks Back in 2010

Daylight Saving Time 2010: Time Change in Fall – When is Daylight Saving Time? When do we turn the clocks back in 2010? These are the questions of many as they seek on the day when they should adjust their clocks and watches. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of temporarily advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in fall. This practice is being done primarily to conserve energy.

So now that fall is approaching, when should the time change in fall begin? When is Daylight Saving Time? For all residents of US and Canada, effective Sunday, November 7, 2010 the clocks fall back to Standard Time. The official change will occur at 7.30 PM IST (6 AM EST). During Standard Time, clocks are turned backward an hour, effectively moving an hour of daylight from evening to morning. Daylight Saving Time will return on March 14, 2011 in the US and Canada.

It is important to note however that some US states and territories, including Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas, do not observe Daylight Saving Time
