The ominous rumble of thunder fills the air as dark clouds gather overhead, signaling the imminent arrival of a powerful thunderstorm in Kansas. The National Weather Service has issued a thunderstorm watch for parts of the state, including the bustling city of Wichita. Residents are urged to stay indoors and take precautions as strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning pose a threat to safety.
As the storm approaches, anxiety mounts among those in its path. The sound of rain pelting against windows and the occasional flash of lightning illuminating the sky create an atmosphere of unease. Despite modern technology allowing for accurate forecasting, there is still a sense of unpredictability when it comes to nature's fury.
Daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. on March 10, 2024, the second Sunday of March. The morning will stay dark a little later than you're used to, but that also means daylight will stretch an hour further into the afternoon and evening.
By the miracle of modern technology, your smartphones and watches will automatically adjust to the change. But if you have an analog watch, appliances that tell time or old-school clocks sitting around your house, you will need to adjust those yourself.
The time will change at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 10. Daylight saving time always begins on the second Sunday of March, and ends on the first Sunday of November.
Daylight saving time will be in effect until Nov. 3, 2024, when clocks "fall back."
From February 1942 until September 1945, the U.S. took on what became known as "War Time," when Congress voted to make daylight saving time year-round during the war in an effort to conserve fuel. When it ended, states were able to establish their own standard time until 1966 when Congress finally passed the Uniform Time Act, standardizing national time and establishing current-day daylight saving time.
Most recently, amid an energy crisis in 1973, former President Richard Nixon signed a bill putting the U.S. on daylight saving time starting in January 1974. While the American public at first liked the idea, soon "the experiment ... ran afoul of public opinion," The New York Times reported in October 1974. Sunrises that could be as late as 9:30 a.m. some places in parts of winter became increasingly unpopular. It didn't take long for Congress to reverse course in October 1974.
