Mark Your Calendars: This Is When Daylight Saving Time Arrives in New York 

If you are a person that thrives in the sunshine, January can be a challenging month. The earliest days of the new year are short on sunlight and long on moonlight. We need hope! We need Daylight Saving Time. Believe it or not, turning the clocks forward isn't as far away as you might think. There is hope!

Daylight Saving Time is when we get to move the clocks forward one hour. So, with sunset currently expected at 4:40pm, if the time change were today, sunset would be at 5:40pm. That sounds a whole lot better to me and it's less than 2 months away.

According to the the Old Farmers Almanac, the Germans were the first to embrace the changing of the clocks in 1915. The British followed in 1916, the United States and Canada in 1918.

I had always heard that Daylight Saving Time was enacted to help farmers. Turns out farmers were strongly against "springing forward and falling back" from the start. Enough of a history lesson. Let's see when we move the clocks forward in 2026.

Daylight Saving Time in New York will begin at 2am on Sunday March 8, 2026 and is expected to end on Sunday November 1, 2026 at 2am.
