Clocks will soon jump back in NYC for daylight saving time

NEW YORK (PIX11) – With fall around the corner, New Yorkers will soon shift their clocks back an hour as daylight saving time steals an hour of sunshine.

Daylight saving time ends on Nov. 3 at 2 a.m., at which point clocks should be set back by one hour. It will mean less daylight, but one extra hour of sleep.

Until then, sunset times in New York City will also start creeping up. The sky will get dark before 6 p.m. by the end of October and jump to earlier than 5 p.m. after daylight saving time.

Fall officially starts on Sept. 22. On average, temperatures in New York City sit just under 70 degrees in September, then dip down to the high 50s and low 60s in October, according to historical data from the National Weather Service. By November, temperatures will reach the high 40s and low 50s.

Only two states don’t participate in daylight saving time: Hawaii and most of Arizona.
