The days of sunsets after 5 p.m. will soon be behind us in Wisconsin.

That's because the end of daylight saving time in 2024 is about two weeks away. Sunset on November 1, 2024 is expected to occur around 5:42 p.m. The next day, when we “fall back” to standard time, it will be an hour earlier. Prepare for it.

Here's a quick guide to Daylight Saving Time in 2024.

When does Wisconsin fall behind in 2024? When should you change your clock?

Daylight saving time ends at 1 a.m. CDT on November 3rd as sunrise and sunset occur one hour earlier.

When does Wisconsin move forward in 2025?

Daylight Saving Time begins on March 9, 2025 at 1:00 a.m. CDT and will resume on November 2 at 1:00 a.m. CDT.

When is the shortest day of the year in 2024?

The shortest day of the year falls on the winter solstice, which falls on December 21 this year, according to Space.com. The winter solstice is the point at which the sun's path in the sky goes furthest south. During the winter solstice, the sun travels the shortest path through the sky, resulting in the day with the least amount of sunlight.

How does summer time work?

According to timeanddate.com, daylight saving time occurs when we set our clocks forward one hour to take advantage of more sunlight during spring, summer, and fall evenings.

In autumn, summer time usually ends and our clocks are reset to winter time. During the “fallback” we gain an hour, so the transition day is 25 hours long.
