Enjoy those sunny evenings while you still can because daylight saving time will end before you know it; 2:00am on Sunday, November 5th to be exact.

For example, the sun currently sets in Chicago at around 7:25pm; once it’s time to “fall back”, though, the sun will go down nightly at around 4:45pm!

We’ve been steadily losing daylight since the summer solstice on June 21. It starts slow, at about a minute a week, before ramping up during September. In Chicago, for example, the sun sets at around 7:25 p.m. on September 1. By October 1, the sun will set around 6:32 p.m.

Darkness will only fall sooner when daylight saving time ends. 

Many states are choosing not to change the clock and stick with daylight saving time. 18 states, like Florida, Ohio and Washington have legislation to keep their clocks where they are for some extra evening light but legislative action has yet to happen.

It’s unclear whether any bill stands a chance of moving through this Congress.
