"We've long since said goodbye to the 7pm sundown. Now we have to contend with the fact that the city's final 6pm sunset of 2025 will happen on Saturday, October 25, and after that, twilight will move in fast. On October 26, the sun sets at 5:59pm; by Sunday, November 2, it's down to 4:50pm-a full hour earlier overnight. The culprit is Daylight Saving Time, which officially ends on November 2 at 2am when clocks "fall back" an hour."
"From late October onward, New Yorkers lose a few minutes of daylight each day until the winter solstice on December 21, the shortest day of the year, with just 9 hours and 15 minutes of daylight and a 4:31pm sunset. The turnaround begins slowly after that, but the next sunset after 6pm won't arrive until March 9, 2026, the first day of Daylight Saving Time."
Daylight will shift earlier for New Yorkers after Daylight Saving Time ends on November 2 at 2am, when clocks "fall back" an hour. The city's final 6pm sunset of 2025 occurs on October 25; by October 26 it is 5:59pm and by November 2 it drops to 4:50pm. From late October New Yorkers lose minutes of daylight daily until the winter solstice on December 21, which offers 9 hours 15 minutes of daylight and a 4:31pm sunset. The next post-work sunset after 6pm will not return until March 9, 2026. Daylight Saving Time originated during World War I, was formalized by the Uniform Time Act of 1966 with state opt-outs, and the current extended schedule has been in effect since 2007 under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Critics question the energy savings and note sleep disruption.
