Daylight saving time countdown: Florida will still spring forward in just over 4 months

Ah, daylight saving time. The clocks are likely changed (by now).

Despite efforts to permanently end the age-old practice, daylight saving time 2023 officially ended Nov. 5 — but in just over four months, Florida will still spring forward.

At 2 a.m. EST on the second Sunday of March, we'll set our wall clocks forward by one hour. For those wondering, when we "fall back," we gain an hour. Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. EST Sunday, March 10, 2024, when we "spring forward" or lose an hour.

Those who support ending daylight saving time permanently advocate brighter afternoons and more economic activity. Likely the No. 1 complaint about daylight saving time is the disruption of sleep and habits.

Below is a countdown clock to the beginning of daylight saving time 2024.
