Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 2025 generally starts in the spring and ends in the fall, but the exact dates depend on the country or region:
- In the United States, DST starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. For 2025, this means DST starts on March 9 and ends on November 2.
- In most of Europe, including Germany, DST starts on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October. In 2025, DST starts on March 30 and ends on October 26.
- Other regions have different schedules, such as Australia and New Zealand observing DST during their summer months, with varied start and end dates.
To summarize the main dates for 2025:
- US: March 9 to November 2
- Europe: March 30 to October 26
Daylight Saving Time involves setting clocks forward by one hour in spring ("spring forward") and setting clocks back by one hour in fall ("fall back") to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer months.
