San Angelo, TX, October 31, 2026 — The conclusion of Daylight Saving Time is scheduled to occur overnight in San Angelo. This seasonal change means that clocks will be set back by one hour. Residents will experience an extra hour of daylight in the morning, while evenings will become darker earlier. The precise time of the change is typically at 2:00 AM local time, when clocks are moved from 2:00 AM back to 1:00 AM. This event marks the return to Standard Time for the region.

The shift back to Standard Time is a long-standing practice observed in many parts of the United States. The primary rationale behind Daylight Saving Time, and its subsequent end, has historically been to make better use of natural daylight. Proponents have argued it can lead to energy savings and reduced crime, although the extent of these benefits has been a subject of ongoing debate and research. The transition back to Standard Time means that clocks are adjusted to align more closely with the sun’s position in the sky during the winter months.

For individuals in San Angelo, the immediate effect will be an earlier sunrise. Conversely, sunset will occur approximately an hour earlier than it did under Daylight Saving Time. This can impact daily routines, including commutes, outdoor activities, and schedules for schools and businesses. Many electronic devices, such as smartphones and computers, update automatically, but manual adjustments may be required for other timekeeping devices like wall clocks, watches, and ovens.

The end of Daylight Saving Time also signifies the approach of winter. As daylight hours shorten, public safety officials often remind residents to be mindful of increased darkness, particularly during evening commutes. The change back to Standard Time will remain in effect until the spring, when Daylight Saving Time will resume.
