Clocks Roll Back One Hour This Weekend as Daylight Saving Time Officially Ends
Daylight saving time (DST) in the United States ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 a.m.
When the clock strikes two, set your clocks back one hour to mark the return to standard time. Most people will turn the clocks back before they go to bed. That means an extra hour of sleep and earlier sunrises beginning that morning.
Most smartphones and computers update automatically, but manual clocks—like ovens, microwaves, and wall clocks—will need to be changed by hand.
Daylight saving time was introduced to make better use of daylight during summer months. As the days shorten in fall, clocks are turned back to shift sunlight earlier in the day—bringing more daylight to mornings and less to evenings.
For San Antonio residents, the time change means sunrise will occur around 6:50 a.m. and sunset just before 5:45 p.m. the following week. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to stay alert during darker evening commutes, as traffic safety risks typically increase right after the time change.
Quick Re-Cap:
• Change occurs: Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 a.m.
• Set clocks: Back one hour (“Fall Back”)
• Result: Extra sleep and earlier daylight mornings
