Alabama residents will enjoy an extra hour of rest this weekend as daylight saving time concludes. The clocks will ‘fall back’ at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 3.

As daylight saving time ends, most digital devices, such as phones and computers, will automatically adjust to the new time without any issues. However, some clock devices, like cars, microwaves, and oven clocks, will require manual resetting.

What Else Comes with the Time Change?

Sunset comes a lot earlier now, meaning it gets dark quickly after the work day.

The projected sunset time for Sunday, November 3, is 4:56 p.m.

James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist, also reminds us to “check or change the batteries in your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and your NOAA weather radios.”

Did You Know?

Did you know all states operate under the current time change system except for two? The two exceptions are Arizona and Hawaii, along with some U.S. territories that do not observe daylight savings time, like Puerto Rico.

“Hawaii abandoned the law in 1967 because, well, it just didn’t make sense. One of the benefits of daylight saving time is that there’s more daylight in the evening,” said Reader’s Digest.

“Arizona followed suit in 1968 because it also gets a lot of daylight year-round,” said Reader’s Digest. “Not setting clocks forward also ensures that there are lower temperatures during waking hours.”
