Some of you know the term Daylight Saving, and some must be searching this term for the first time. Whichever the reason, clicking on our link has definitely brought you to the right place. This article will guide you through the details of what ‘Daylight Saving’ is and how it will be effective on your device.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of advancing the clocks by one hour from Standard Time in the summer and then reverting to Standard Time in the fall.
The fundamental concept is that putting the clocks forward one hour in the spring allows us to make better use of natural light during summer evenings. Likewise, changing the clocks back one hour in the fall allows us to make better use of natural daylight during winter mornings.
So is Daylight Saving Time Automatic for your Mac?
The answer is yes. Officially, the time has come to move the date and time forward by an hour in March 2022 following Daylight Saving Time. Daylight Saving Time is supposed to begin at 2:00 a.m. in the United States on Sunday, March 13, and expires at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 6, 2022. All times are in Eastern Time.
