Citizens of the United States already know by now that the winter time changeover is a matter of course for households. However, in some states this is not the case, since they have not yet started to implement Daylight Saving Time (DTS). Therefore, we should know well whether we live in a state where it is necessary to change the time on our clock or not.
Thus, doing so can help us in some aspects of life. One of the most important elements in this sense is the saving in the electricity bill, since having more time of sunlight we will be able to have the lamps off longer. Be that as it may, with savings in the electricity bill or not, the time change is coming for many states and the winter time will appear very soon, so we must take it into account.
In which states will we not switch to winter time?
In most of the United States, the Daylight Saving Time (DTS) is applied to have directly the winter time from November. But not in all corners of the country this situation occurs, so it is good to keep in mind that not 100% of the states are within this program.
The following states do not apply Daylight Saving Time (DTS):
- Most of Arizona
- Hawaii
Therefore, if you live in any of the other states you will have no problem identifying whether you need to apply Daylight Saving Time (DTS) or not. This will apply in all of them, so winter time will start for citizens living in the rest of the states.
When will Daylight Saving Time (DTS) apply to winter time?
Daylight Saving Time (DTS) takes place on the first Sunday of November each year. From that time on, citizens can have Winter Time to enjoy a little more natural sunlight. No matter which state you live in, with the exception of those mentioned above, you will have this change on your watch. In 2024, the exact day will be on November 3rd.
However, it is true that in most current devices this time change is fully automatic. But there are clocks in the home that will not change automatically, so it is advisable to check that all the clocks in the house have been changed at the time of Daylight Saving Time (DTS) to Winter Time to avoid problems in our usual schedule.
