Daylight Saving Time 2022 Starts Sunday In Beverly-Mt. Greenwood

BEVERLY-MT. GREENWOOD — Time to turn our clocks forward one hour this Sunday morning. At 2 a.m. Sunday (March 13) Daylight Saving Time officially begins. We lose an hour of the day (and an hour of sleep), but we gain an extra hour of daylight in the evening. On Sunday, the sun will set an hour later at 6:55 p.m. in Beverly-Mt. Greenwood.

Daylight Saving Time (some call it "Daylight Savings Time") was officially extended in the United States in 2007, beginning the second Sunday in March and ending the first week in November. Daylight Saving Time used to start on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October, according to Time Temperature.

The time change is automatic for smartphones, computers, tablets and other digital devices. If you have an analog clock, you're going to have to move the big hand forward one hour. Move your car clock ahead one hour too, unless you just left it from last November.

Although the beginning of Daylight Saving Time is often associated with the beginning of spring, the Spring Equinox isn't until Sunday, March 20, when we cross the finish line of winter.

It is also a good time to change smoke and carbon monoxide alarm batteries, and check to make sure the devices are in working order, according to fire officials.
