Daylight Saving Time (DST) in most of the United States for 2025 started on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 2:00 AM local standard time, when clocks were moved forward one hour to 3:00 AM local daylight time. DST will end on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 AM local daylight time, when clocks will be set back an hour to 1:00 AM local standard time.

In Europe, daylight saving time begins on the last Sunday in March (March 30, 2025) and ends on the last Sunday in October (October 26, 2025).

In other regions such as New Zealand, DST starts at 2 AM on the last Sunday in September and ends at 3 AM on the first Sunday in April.

So, the specific start time of DST depends on the region, but for example in the U.S., it starts on the second Sunday in March at 2 AM when clocks move forward one hour.
