Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 2025 starts on Sunday, March 9, when clocks move forward by one hour. It ends on Sunday, November 2, when clocks are moved back by one hour. In Europe, including the Netherlands, DST starts later on Sunday, March 30, and ends earlier on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

Key Dates for 2025:

• United States and Canada:
  • DST begins: Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 2:00 AM (clocks go forward)
  • DST ends: Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 AM (clocks go back)
• Europe (including the Netherlands):
  • DST begins: Sunday, March 30, 2025, at 2:00 AM (clocks go forward)
  • DST ends: Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 3:00 AM (clocks go back)

The purpose of DST is to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer by shifting clocks forward in spring and backward in fall, thus providing more daylight in the evening during summer months.
