When is Daylight Saving Time 2025? Here's what it is, reason, US States and Territories that do not follow it and how to prepare
It adjusts the clocks twice—once in spring and again in fall—to maximize natural daylight. As 2025 progresses, people are preparing for the next clock change.
What is Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight saving time is a seasonal clock change observed in many parts of the US. It begins in spring and ends in fall. The main purpose is to make better use of daylight. In March, clocks are set forward by one hour, which allows for more daylight in the evening. In November, clocks are set back by one hour, giving people more daylight during the morning.

US States and Territories That Do Not Follow Daylight Saving Time
While most of the United States observes daylight saving time, there are exceptions. Hawaii and most of Arizona do not adjust their clocks.
Live Events
Arizona:
The state does not follow daylight saving due to its desert climate. Extending daylight into the evening is not seen as useful in the hot months. However, the Navajo Nation, which spans parts of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, does observe daylight saving.
Hawaii:
Located close to the equator, Hawaii experiences little change in daylight hours year-round. Therefore, it does not follow the practice.
US Territories:
Five territories also do not observe daylight saving time. These are:
American Samoa
Guam
Northern Mariana Islands
Puerto Rico
U.S. Virgin Islands
Reason Behind Daylight Saving Time
The idea behind daylight saving time is to reduce energy use by taking advantage of longer daylight hours. In spring, the extra hour of daylight in the evening can decrease electricity use. In fall, gaining morning light helps with visibility and reduces the need for lighting.
However, debates continue on whether the practice is still useful. Some people support a permanent time system to eliminate the need for clock changes.

‘Corpses' in queue at Kashi ghats as swollen Ganga overflows onto streets
1 2 Varanasi: Families wait for hours for their turn for the last rites of their near and dear ones at the Ghats in Kashi, as rising waters of the swollen Ganga overflowed on to the streets of Varanasi on Monday, leaving the Manikarnika and Harishchandra ghats cremation grounds inundated. While pyres are being set at the upper platform at Manikarnika, cremation is taking place in streets near Harishchandra ghat. After submerging all ghats, Ganga waters have started flowing on roads, especially in upstream areas, while downstream, it flooded tributary Varuna and marooned dozens of localities on its banks. The Ganga in spate has not only affected lives of thousands in Varanasi, but it is also causing panic in Ballia and has marooned fields with paddy crops in Ghazipur and Chandauli districts. After crossing the 72-metre mark, above the danger level of 71.26 metres, the river water has entered the city areas. However, the pace of rise has reduced to less than one centimetre per hour in Varanasi. It is the first time since 2016 that floodwaters have inundated the streets up to the steps of Manikarnika Ghat, because of which people arriving here to perform last rites have to leave the bodies on the street and wait for boats to carry them to upper platform at the ghat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Sanjay Majhi, one of the two boatmen engaged in bringing the bodies for cremation, said, "Only seven to eight pyres can be set on the upper platform, and it takes at least three hours for cremation of one body while over 100 bodies arrive here in 24 hours."

Another boatman, Bullu Sahani, said, "We have to lift corpses to help people take the body up to the pyre." Meanwhile, the Ganga aarti of Dashashwamedh and other ghats are being performed symbolically on the rooftops of buildings near the ghats.
