Most areas of the United States currently observe daylight saving time, with the exceptions being the states of Arizona and Hawaii along with the territories of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.<\/p>\n<p>From 1987 to 2006, daylight saving time in the United States began on the first Sunday of April and ended on the last Sunday of October. The time was adjusted at 2:00 AM (0200) local time (as it still is done now).<\/p>\n<p>Since 2007, daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November, with all time changes taking place at 2:00 AM (0200) local time. In 2011, daylight saving time began on March 13 and will end on November 6.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Daylight Savings Time Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n<table id=\"table17\" width=\"480\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th align=\"center\">Year<\/th>\n<th align=\"center\">DST Begins 2 a.m.<br \/>\n(Second Sunday in March)<\/th>\n<th align=\"center\">DST Ends 2 a.m.<br \/>\n(First Sunday in November)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">2011<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">13 March 2011<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6 November 2011<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">2012<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">11 March 2012<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4 November 2012<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">2013<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10 March 2013<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3 November 2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">2014<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9 March 2014<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2 November 2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\">2015<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8 March 2015<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1 November 2015<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you remember to set your clocks back last night?\u00a0 Daylight Savings Time came to an end at 2:00am Sunday morning.
