Sunday, Nov 3, 2013: USA and Canada will move to standard time

The USA and Canada will move back to standard time on Sunday 3 November 2013 at 02:00 a.m.^[1] The clocks go back one hour, so by the clock the sun rises an hour earlier and sets an hour earlier.

Most of the United States and Canada uses daylight saving time, so most areas are affected.

In more detail:

Areas in the USA that do not use DST:^[2]

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

Areas in Canada that do not use DST:^[3]

• 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
• Most of Saskatchewan
• Some areas in Quebec from east of 63° west longitude
• Southampton Island

Correction, 25 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, 25 October 2026: The US rule is still the same: clocks go back one hour at 02:00 on the first Sunday of November, which is 1 November in 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, so they no longer turn their clocks back in November.^[5] See also: USA and Canada move to standard time on November 4, 2012.
