Sunday, March 10: USA & Canada will switch to daylight saving time

Spring is coming to the USA and Canada, and with it the clock change: on Sunday 10 March 2013 at 02:00 local time, clocks go forward one hour.^[1]

Some areas of the USA and Canada do not use daylight saving time (DST), so their clocks do not change.

In the United States, these are:^[2]

• Hawaii
• Arizona (except the Navajo Nation)
• Puerto Rico
• U.S. Virgin Islands
• Guam
• Northern Mariana Islands
• American Samoa

In Canada, they are:^[3]

• Most of Saskatchewan
• Southampton Island
• Some areas in Quebec from east of 63° west longitude
• A few areas in British Columbia (the Creston Valley and part of the Peace River Regional District)
• Pickle Lake, New Osnaburgh, and Atikokan in Northwestern Ontario

Correction, 26 October 2026: The Canada list first said "East Kootenay region". It should have said the Creston Valley: in 2013 the East Kootenay changed its clocks like Alberta (since August 2026 it no longer does).^[4]

Update, 26 October 2026: The US rule is still the same: clocks go forward one hour at 02:00 on the second Sunday of March; in 2026 that was 8 March 2026.^[1] Canada has changed a lot: Yukon stopped changing its clocks in 2020, and in 2026 British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario stopped too; they keep their summer time all year.^[5] See also: USA and Canada move to standard time on November 3, 2013 and USA and Canada start daylight saving time on March 13, 2016.
