Utah observes daylight savings time:Is Utah on standard time or daylight savings time?
For most of the U.S., the second Sunday of March marks the start of daylight saving time, but two states are the exceptions. Here's why.
This year, daylight saving time begins on Sunday, March 13 and ends on Sunday, November 6. During daylight saving time, Americans around the country wake up a little more groggy and a lot more annoyed than usual, knowing that they’ve lost an hour of sleep. Some even ask, “what would happen if we got rid of daylight saving time?” as they adjust to the time change. But for a select group of Americans, the second Sunday of March is just a regular day, as not all states observe daylight saving time.What states don’t do daylight saving time?
Two states don’t do daylight saving time: Hawaii and Arizona. The United States officially adopted daylight saving time (yes, not “savings”) as part of the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Before that, states could come up with their own versions of the practice. In fact, Iowa once had 23 different pairs of start and end dates throughout the state. This new law brought much-needed order to the country’s clocks, but it didn’t require all states to comply. And so, Hawaii and Arizona eventually opted out.The Only 2 States That Don’t Observe Daylight Saving Time
