Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1. At that moment, clocks go back to 1 a.m., and the hour between 1 and 2 a.m. happens twice.
Phones and most connected devices change on their own. Clocks on the oven, the microwave, the car dashboard and the wall need to be set back by hand. The easiest way is to do it before bed Saturday night.
Under federal law, daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday in November, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It returns on Sunday, March 14, 2027.
What changes in Jupiter
The time change moves an hour of daylight from the evening to the morning. Based on standard sunrise and sunset calculations for Jupiter:
Saturday, Oct. 31: Sunrise about 7:29 a.m., sunset about 6:37 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 1: Sunrise about 6:30 a.m., sunset about 5:37 p.m.
That means darker evening commutes and walks home from school starting next week. Drivers should watch for kids and people on bikes after 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2 is a regular school day. Schools are closed Tuesday, Nov. 3, for Election Day (see our no-school story).
A good time to check smoke alarms
The U.S. Fire Administration recommends testing smoke alarms monthly, replacing 9-volt batteries at least once a year and replacing the alarm itself every 10 years. The clock change is an easy reminder to do it.
Sunday's weather
Use the extra hour wisely: the National Weather Service gives Jupiter an 80% chance of rain Sunday, and the beaches will still be under a high rip current risk until Sunday evening. Our coastal flood and rip current update has the latest.
