Daylight Saving Time (DST) Definition

In March, clocks are moved forward from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.

In November, time reverts to Standard Time, from 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

DST is not observed in the U.S. and its territories in the following regions:

NOTE The Navajo Nation in Arizona participates in DST due to its large size and location in three states. Arizona, except the Navajo Nation, is always on Mountain Standard Time.
