When and what time does the clock go forward in the United States?
We are very close to this time change in the United States, which corresponds to summer time. This will begin next Sunday, March 12, at 2:00 p.m. (early morning). At that precise moment, if you live in the United States, you must advance the clock one hour, so it will go from 2:00 to 3:00. This is DST for the 2023 season.
Why is the time change made in the United States?
The time change has a very important reason, which is a benefit for the citizens of the United States. For some years now, this has been done in order to save electricity in homes, by making less use of some electrical appliances or lights. Thanks to this schedule, citizens will be able to count on one more hour of sunshine. In addition, it is important to note that digital watches automatically make this change, so you should not move anything on your computer or mobile device.
Where should the time change not be made?
Although the vast majority of states in the USA must make this time change, there are 3 where no change should be made, because they have other guidelines regarding time changes. These states are: Alaska, Hawaii and Arizona, where you should not put the clock forward one hour. On the other hand, it should be noted that Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands and the United States Virgin Islands must not comply with this modification either.
Stay tuned so that this weekend you can make the time change if you live in California, Florida, New Jersey or other states, especially if you are a Latino residing in the United States and it will be your first time making this time change.
