Winter is getting closer every day, particularly for the countries that are in the northern hemisphere, and with it not only temperature changes but also the time change, in order to adjust our activities to sunlight .

That is why next Sunday we will say goodbye to summer time, which was in force for 34 weeks in this 2022, in order to completely give way to winter time.

To be more exact, in the United States it will come into force on Sunday, December 6, in 2 o’clock point: 00 am winter time. On this occasion, what the inhabitants of a large part of the country must do is set their clocks back one hour, which represents one more hour of rest from then on.

If there is no modification to the road, winter time in the US will be extended until Sunday 12 March 2023.

Let us remember that last March, the Senate approved a bill of unanimously so that the schedule is no longer adjusted in the winter from 2023. However, the Sunshine Protection Act is in the process of being approved by the House of Representatives and subsequently signed by President Joe Biden.

The date for the time change varies annually, because it is taken into consideration that it is the first Sunday of each November.

It is also important to remember that there are states and territories of USA that do not change daylight savings time, such as Hawaii, parts of Arizona, the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and Guam.

If you have any questions regarding the next time change and which sites are in force and which are not, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) , on its official website, details what the different schedules are in the North American country according to the zone in coordinated universal time (UTC, in English), which you can consult here.
