The clocks will go back on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 3:00 AM local daylight time, moving backward one hour to 2:00 AM local standard time. When this happens, sunrise and sunset will occur about one hour earlier than the day before. This means it will actually be lighter in the morning compared to the previous days, not darker. However, the evenings will become darker earlier, as there will be less daylight in the evening hours. This clock change marks the end of daylight saving time and the return to standard time, which compensates for the shorter daylight hours in winter by shifting more daylight to the morning. So, in short, on the day the clocks go back, it will be lighter in the morning but darker earlier in the evening.
