On Sunday, March 30 at 01.00 UTC, most of Europe is going to Summer Time which is what they call Daylight Saving TIme. Most Europeans will be setting clocks forward one hour which do not automatically go forward an hour. The greater fatigue for day shift workers will be hitting Europe just so they can have an extra hour of daylight after work or school. Belarus, Russia, and Turkey do not change clocks. There has been talk of ending the time changes, but so far it has not happened.
I do recommend that people in some public safety jobs, keep their clocks on government time even when it is different from nautical time. Many of those people do not have the time to make the mental adjustments between government time and nautical time. However, the rest of us can keep our clocks on year round standard time, or year round nautical time as in some places this is different, such as Amarillo, Texas and Boise, Idaho.
On Sunday, March 9, 2024 at 2:O0 AM local standard time most of the continental United States, Canada, all of Cuba and Baja California Norte, Mexico and Mexican communities bordering New Mexico and Texas will be going to daylight saving time. We are to either set our clocks forward an hour or move our schedules back an hour earlier for events taking place in areas which change clocks. Arizona outside of Navajo Nation, most of Saskatchewan, Yukon and some other parts of Canada will not be changing clocks. This means that most of America will have mean solar noon close to 1:O0 PM. Many people will be fatigued having to go to work or school an hour earlier each morning. The Alaska Time Zone will be observing Lake Tahoe Mean Time. The Pacific Time Zone will have to observe Denver Mean Time. Denver will be observing New Orleans Mean TIme. New Orleans will be observing Far Northeast Philadelphia Mean Time. Philadelphia will be observing Manaus Mean Time. At least, Manaus will be observing its own mean time, because Brazil no longer observes daylight saving time. The Atlantic Time Zone in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and part of Labrador will be observing Barreiras, Brazil Mean Time. Newfoundland will be observing Campo do Brito, Brazil Mean Time even though Campo do Brito observes a time 30 minutes behind their local mean time year round.
On November 3, 2024 at 2:O0 AM local daylight time most of the United States, Canada, and all of Cuba will be setting their clocks back an hour and go back to Standard Time. Baja California Norte, Mexico and areas of Mexico bordering New Mexico and Texas will also turn their clocks back one hour. Arizona outside of Navajo Nation and Hawaii do not turn their clocks back. In Canada, Yukon and most of Saskatchewan do not turn their clocks back. There are also a few other isolated parts of Canada that do not change clocks. This preserves daylight in the morning at the expense of an hour of afternoon daylight.
There have been many attempts to end the clock changes, but they have not taken effect yet. Many state efforts are conditional on neighboring states joining them. Federal law allows states to go to year round Standard Time, but not year round Daylight Time. The Sunshine Protection Act which would put most of America on year round daylight saving time has 54 co-sponsors in Congress. There has not been a bill introduced in Congress to put all of America on year round standard time.
On Sunday, October 27 at 01:O0 UTC most of Europe moves their clocks one hour back for Winter Time. Winter Time will be observed until the last Sunday in March. Belarus, Russia, Turkey, and Russian occupied parts of Ukraine do not change clocks. There has been no recent actions by the European Union to attempt to end the clock changing.
Advocating ending daylight saving time and going to year round standard time.
