Daylight Savings Time starts on March 9, 2025, requiring a clock adjustment of one hour ahead. Although the tradition aims to maximize daylight, its future remains uncertain as discussions continue in Congress regarding its permanence. Originally established in 1918 to conserve energy during World War I, the practice has evolved into a topic of public debate, with some advocating for its removal. The upcoming change offers a signal of springtime as New Yorkers anticipate warmer weather amidst fluctuating temperatures.
According to the U.S. Department of Defense, Daylight Savings Time dates back to March 19th, 1918 to help add additional daylight hours and offset energy costs during World War I.
In 2022, the Sunshine Protection Act made the tradition a permanent standard across the country, but the bill sat in Congress and has yet to be voted on.
