We’re only a little more than a week away from a jump in time – at least on the clocks. Daylight saving time 2022 officially takes place at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 13 when we “spring forward” one hour.
Daylight saving time 2022 officially takes place at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 13 when we “spring forward” one hour. Daylight hours have been increasing slightly each day since the winter solstice on Dec. 21 but the big change comes March 13 when we jump from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. In Alabama, that means the sunset on March 13 will come around 6:53 p.m., roughly an hour later than the previous day.
Not all states mark daylight saving time. Most of Arizona and all of Hawaii do not observe DST, nor do Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa or the U.S. Virgin Islands. There is currently a proposal in Congress – the Sunshine Protection Act – to make daylight saving time year-round. While popular among some, the measure has failed to gain widespread traction among lawmakers.Benjamin Franklin is credited with coming up with the idea of daylight saving time as part of a tongue-in-cheek proposal to make better use of the day’s light.
In 1973, President Richard Nixon signed into law the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act that made DST permanent in the U.S. In 2005, the Uniform Time Act tweaked that schedule by setting the start of daylight saving time to the second Sunday of March and the end on the first Sunday of November, lengthening the duration of DST.
