When will it get light and dark each day when we change the time? What to know in Miami

Remember to “spring ahead” this weekend.

Your cellphone and computers will remember. But don’t forget to manually change the clocks on your wall and your kitchen appliances.

Daylight saving time begins 2 a.m. Sunday, March 9.

So, how will that change when it gets light and dark each day?

Take a look:

When is daylight saving time?

Time change: Daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 9, 2025.

Sleep: Springing ahead means you’ll lose an hour of sleep when the time changes. You can make it up on Nov. 2, when we turn the clocks back again.

Pro tip: Move your manually controlled clocks ahead an hour before going to sleep on Saturday night, March 8.
